Going to be hard to come by the right words for a couple of those. I've heard 'grámhar' used, sarcastically, for a 'player' but that wouldn't be quite right obviously.

For 'gold digger' and 'player' I would get in touch with Rónán Mac Aodha Bhuí's radio programme on RnaG. He has native speakers in once a week and you can text in with words you'd like translations of. Think it's every Tuesday.

In Conamara they say "buachaill báire" for one of them fellahs!

whatever about the translation of these words/phrases..I'd be really interested in the final composition - sounds like someone's in for a tongue lashing
