I would have translated 'Coinnigh do mhisneach' as 'keep your chin up' or 'stay strong' or something like that. www.focloir.ie really is trying to cover all angles. One translation they give is: 'Don't let the bastards grind you down'! http://www.focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/ ... q=coinnigh do mhisneach&inlanguage=ga#bastard__9

Any other 'interesting' translations out there?
