In a "Million Dollar Baby" the term Mo Cushliu was used. What is the
literal translation

Hi joe987,

For those who have not seen this film, and wish to see it:

SPOILER ALERT!!

* * *

That being said ... the phrase is "Mo Chuisle."  It literally means,
"my pulse."  This is indicated in various results for the Google
search:

'"mo chuisle"' [including results mentioning "Million Dollar Baby"]

For instance, see:

Sorry about the all-caps "spoiler alert" at the beginning of your
answer.  I hadn't answered a question about the end of a movie before,
but I was used to seeing these all-caps alerts when newsgroups discuss
movie endings.

All caps and two exclamation points don't look especially good in an
answer.  Next time, I'll write a more sedate alert.
