its "craic" = fun, good times

as in "go down the pub for a bit of craic", or "the craic was good"

but it does get you some weird looks if you say it to someone who then looks at you like some druggie. I once told an Aussie that "we'd had great craic at a party" and she looked at me very concerned and said "you don't really do that stuff, do you?"
