Felipa ,We used to hear that the word craic came from the Irish "creach", meaning plunder or cattle-raiding. Subsequent research has shown that recent use of the word was taken from its use by Irish labourers who had heard it while working in a remote part of Northumbria.Can we be sure that the word crack wasn’t based on a word used by cattle-rustling reivers? |
