ar nós cuma liom = doesn't give a damn

Inspector Gadget

Is that dialect specific, Míshásta? Haven't heard it before. Personally, if I was to say someone didn't give a damn I'd be inclined to say "is cuma [leis|leithi...]", or perhaps something more colourful... but that just might be a Connemara thing for all I know.

Ní dóigh liom go bhfuil aon bhaint aige le canúint.
I don't think it has any thing to do with dialect.
It's a quite common expression meaning 'apathetic' or 'indifferent'

Samplaí ó Google

"Thug sé seo fuinneamh breise don cheol agus mheall go leor daoine le héisteacht leis a bhí ar nós cuma liom faoi roimhe sin.

cáineann sí rialtas, atá, dar léi, ar nós cuma liom faoin gcomhshaol agus faoin oidhreacht

agus iad ar nós cuma liom ar fad i dtaobh leas na Seiceach.

Ach bhí seisean ar nós cuma liom.

más ar nós cuma liom atá na tAire faoi"

Gliondar i dár gcroí, neart i dár ngéag, is beart de réir dár mbriathair (required of the members of the Fianna: the light of gladness in their hearts, strength in their limbs and their deeds according to their words).

losat = kneading-trough - one of the three implements a woman should have, the others being a sieve (crithar) and a baking stone (leac fuine).

Cosnochtaithe = barefoot (not sure about the spelling, not my strong point in Irish - or grammar either....)

Is fearr a bheith cosnochtaithe ná coslom = It's better to be barefoot than to be wearing shoes but no socks (that is, better poverty than a doubtful privilege)

OK, it's someone else's turn now (what's "turn" in that sense in Irish? "It's your turn now"?)

Gníomhaireacht - no idea what it means, have it on a business card. Potentially Focal an lae. (Think the spelling is correct - could be missing a fada, not more than two).

gníomhaireacht - an agency

gníomhaireacht taistil = a travel agency for example!

I haven't got a clue if I'm genuinely correct tbh: but gut impression is leadbh is Galway/Donegal Gaeilge and lí is southern - Cork - Waterford of the same. Dept of ed - (fascists!) arbitrarily decided this - many words/phrases biased northward imho - so I think leadbh is the -er- Árd-Gaeilge.

as per the fascists in doe.

because I'm just guessing here (and stoking the fire) feel free to roast me alive flames welcome.

Well, they say leadhb in Kerry too!

Míshásta

I think the more common meaning of 'leadhb' as a verb is 'to beat' or 'to trounce'

From the song "An Droimeann Donn Dílis"

"Sasanaigh do leadhbfainn mar do leadhbfainn seana-bhróg"

Not advocating violence.

I don't really know anything about what dialects the words apply to.
