# Gobshite is an excellent Irish word

"Crack" is an english word, and also features in Hiberno-English.
"Craic" is pseudo-Irish nonsense made up in the early twentieth century by gobshites who really should have known better.

# There are even fools who have tried to relate the term back to the cattle stealing japes of the pre-Norman days.
They claim that "the craic was ninety" means "I stole ninety cows last night.
Wrong headed hoors.
