Is focal canúnach béarla é,"crack" [tuaisceart Shasana agus Albain ]agus chuir sé fréamh i mBéarla mar a labhartaí é sa taobh ó thuaidh den oileán seo ó Albainis, fágaim.

rinneadh a ghaeliú cionn is nach raibh fhios ag béarloirí gur béarla a bhí ann, cionn is gur focal canúnach é, agus cumadh culaith gaelach dó .i. craic.
