"The craic" has become a part of Irish culture. In a 2001 review of the modern Irish information economy, information sciences professor Eileen M. Trauth called "craic" an intrinsic part of the culture of sociability that distinguished the Irish workplace from those of other countries. Trauth wrote that even as Ireland transitioned away from an economy and society dominated by agriculture, the traditional importance of atmosphere and the art of conversation – "craic" – remains, and that the social life is a fundamental part of workers' judgment of quality of life.
Critics have accused the Irish tourism industry and the promoters of Irish theme pubs of marketing "commodified craic" as a kind of stereotypical Irishness. In his Companion to Irish Traditional Music, Fintan Vallely suggests that use of craic in English is largely an exercise on the part of Irish pubs to make money through the commercialisation of traditional Irish music.Likewise, Donald Clarke in The Irish Times associates the change of spelling to craic with the rebranding of the Irish pub as a tourist attraction during the 1990s.

“How’s the craic?” is a friendly greeting used throughout Ireland.  Heard in pubs, on street corners, and even in people’s homes, it is a question of extreme importance to most Irishmen.[...]
How’s the craic? / What’s the craic? / Any craic?  = How are you?  How are you doing? Any gossip?
Craic agus ceol = Fun and music
We had great craic last night = We had great fun last night.
She’s great craic altogether = She is great fun and great company.
The craic was mighty / The craic was ninety = The fun was brilliant.

(meaning "How are you?" or "What's happening?"). The word has an unusual history; the English crack was borrowed into Irish as craic in the mid-20th century and the Irish spelling was then reborrowed into English.[1] Under either spelling, the term has great cultural currency and significance in Ireland. jonathanmartiescoda https://padlet.com/houdmonsebastien/mf5r3vlvvfou/wish/177750801 2017-06-29 15:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/houdmonsebastien/mf5r3vlvvfou/wish/177750801
