Galway Slang

Craic (pronounced “crack”) is the Gaelic word for “fun”

Actual conversation in the cab from the airport:

Cab Driver: Are you up for a bit of craic?
Me: No, I’m here on business…

Memorable slang so far:

Craic - Fun
Knackered - Tired
No Panic -No worries/problem
Shite - No good, awful
Dry Shite - Boring person
Deadly - Cool
Destroyed - Drunk
Plonker - Idiot
