neutral  Serena Arduini: Certo che senza contesto potrebbe essere proprio qualsiasi cosa. Che ne so, tipo, un gioco di bocce del tardo paleolitico, o un particolare strumento di tortura. Anzi, mi ricorda il craic irlandese. =]

  -> ahahahahhaha nn sapevo del 'craic'! :) ma cmq penso stia semplicemente parlando di cognomi solo che boh la domanda è talmente facile che uno pensa che sia dell'altro ;)) (vedi link sù, ma sull'argomento è pieno di evidenze sull'origine scozzese di craig..

agree  BdiL: Ma quante ne sai?! Un altro link che si aggiunge ai miei. Per non parlare del "craic" di Antarie: dovrò mandarlo a mio fratello "dublinese". Binate voi due fate più faville di una torretta di nave da guerra! Buona domenica. :) Maurizio
