Help with apology

Gate12

Hi there, if I want to say, "Sorry for being an a**hole" in a card, is this correct:

Leithscéal as a bheith ina cúl tóna, and I wonder do I need a h after the c in cúl? Also, is there a more appropriate phrase than cúl tóna for that kind of thing (d*ckhead etc..)? I can't remember the nuns ever teaching me that one.
Thanks a million.

Cad faoi: Tá brón orm as ocht a bheith pleotramán. Gabh mo leithscéil faoi, ní tarlóidh a leithead arís.

I've never ever heard of the term cúl tóna- sounds very made up / unnatural......?

Thanks Conductor, and for your reply to the other post. I've sorted both issues out now (don't need either references anymore), but I'm just wondering about cúl tóna - there's a few Irish language sites and videos that say it means the equivalent of a**hole. Not to worry, though. Thanks again.

I've come across 'poll tóna' before- but not 'cúl tóna'
Its not normal usage though- something like 'is cunús ceart é' - would be more common (come across more along the lines of someone being a waste/waster/useless - rahter than trying to translate 'arsehole/asshole' directly.

There are a myriad of different ways to denigrate someone in Irish- without trying to do a direct translation from English.........
