Why “acushla” is a great word
ACUSHLA — [Noun] A term of endearment for a beloved person, with the literal sense of "O pulse (of my heart)". From Irish a chuisle, meaning "O pulse (of my heart)", from a (vocative particle) + cuisle ("pulse, vein"). Unlike "darling," a general, worn-smooth commonplace, or "sweetheart," a cheerful, secular affection, acushla is a quiet invocation of a vital, interior rhythm. It is the wrist felt in the dark, the steady thrum under a sleeping brow, or the phantom echo in one's own chest when the beloved is away—a recognition that another being is the rhythm by which one's own blood measures time.
