Craic
People in Ireland were always talking about "having good craic". To American ears it sounded like they were all going to get wasted on drugs, but wait--they were saying "craic", not "crack". Craic is slang for "fun", hence the billboard here is not advocating drug use, but selling, well, craic.

When I came home from living in Ireland, I'd ask my friends all the time, "Where's the craic?" More than one was concerned about what hobbies I picked up in Eire!
