The movie Million Dollar Baby uses the term or endearment Mo cuishle.  This is and Irish Gaelic term of endearment.  However, it is incorrectly spelt, the correct spelling being Mo chuisle.

Meaning

Mo chuisle literally means "my pulse".  It's from a longer phrase: A chuisle mo chroí, which means "pulse of my heart".  It does not mean "my blood".  It's an endearment.  Normally when speaking TO the person, you would say "a chuisle"... you would only use "mo chuisle" when speaking OF the person.

The correct spelling is "Mo chuisle".
