Classic Irish greeting that goes way beyond a simple 'what's up' — 'what's the craic' asks about the vibe, the gossip, the fun, and what's going on all at once. 'Craic' (pronounced 'crack') is an Irish and Northern Irish concept covering good times, banter, and the general buzz of social life. The phrase is used constantly in Ireland and Northern Ireland as a casual opener, and has spread internationally through the Irish diaspora and general pop-culture love of Irish slang.

(Ireland) What's happening?.

A warm, casual term of address for a friend or companion — basically a stretched-out, affectionate spin on 'buddy.' Common in North American informal speech, it's the kind of thing you say to a pal you're genuinely happy to see, carrying a friendlier, softer vibe than a flat 'dude' or 'bro.' Works equally well for greetings, check-ins, or just acknowledging someone's presence in a low-key, good-natured way.
