The term “cracker” is from Zithromax Gaelic “craicer” which means someone who likes a pint or two and like to talk.

The Dubliners had a song: “The Craic was good on The Isle of Man”

It meant that they had a good time.

My recently departed Father would say to me: “come on boy lets see how the Craic is at the pub”

Cracker is not racist. It’s cultural. My culture: Irish and proud.

Sorry I don’t know how Zithromax got into the auto correct but it’s crazy.

Craicer is still a man who likes a pint and to talk politics

Florida “crackers” were cowboys.
