In Irish slang, "Craic" (pronounced "crack") generally refers to fun, enjoyment, or a good time. There are varying degrees of Craic, ranging from a basic "good craic" to the ultimate "craic was ninety". 

 

Here's a breakdown of the Craic levels: 

 

  • Minus Craic: Describes a situation that was not just boring, but actively unpleasant or negative.

  • Good Craic: A fairly enjoyable time, but not particularly noteworthy.

  • Mighty Craic: A step up from good craic, indicating a more memorable or lively experience.

  • Savage Craic: A great time with lots of laughs and good atmosphere.

  • Great Craic: A really good time, but still not the absolute best.

  • The Craic Was Ninety: The highest level of craic, indicating an incredibly fun and exciting experience.
