While being in Ireland I have heard much of the slang. Some of it is funny, but al of it is interesting. In our orientation they mentioned two slang words we would hear a lot. The first of these words was craic. It is pronounce like the english word "crack", but it means fun. You can here it being said "Last night was a craic time". Another way it can be used is when wondering what's going on. Like,"Do you want to see what the craic is?"
The second term is slagging. It means teasing or kidding. When our coworkers and employers are comfortable with us they may slag us. or make fun of us in a joking way. This isn't really a word people use in conversation. It is usually used in referring to a past situation.
