Translating Italian into English: what does "il crac" mean?

@WotNot

In fact, craic is simply a transcription of the English dialect word crack (pronounced, er, “crack”), meaning news, gossip, banter etc. I gather that Irish language purists have been looking askance at it since its first appearance in the 1960s.

I didn’t know that! Oh, well.
