craic

[Do228]

What could a foreigner who travels to Ireland say?

1 I've come here for a full blown craic experience.
2 I've come here to spend a lot of craic time.
3 My goal is to become totally craiced.

I seriously doubt any foreigner would use the word at all. It's predominately an Irish term, I believe, but maybe some of our members from across the pond will correct me. Certainly no visitors from outside the UK would use it.

None of them. "I'm here for the craic".

We/they don't say "craic experience", "craic time" or use "craic" as a verb. It's a simple noun.

If it's late at night in downtown Belfast and you're bored, just walk up to any police officer and ask: Do you know where I can get some craic around here?

You do hear it in the UK too, at least in London.
