Uallach: pressure

Pronounced "oo-all-lokh", it literally means burden. It can be used in the sense of a person being under pressure, or having a heavy workload. Tha uallach air an duine sin (hah oo-all-lokh ur in din-na shin): That man is under pressure – literally that man is under a burden. Tha cus uallach orm (hah koos oo-all-lokh or-rom): I am under too much pressure. You can also use cuideam (kooj-jim); the word literally means weight.

iginn (ay-gin)literally means dire straits, or critical situation, but is often used in a sarcastic context. Tha thu nad èiginn (hah oo nad ay-gin): literally, you are in a critical situation. But it is most often used to pooh-pooh a person exaggerating the pressure on his or herself.
