Cad is ciall leis an abairt seo a chairde? What does this mean in Enlgish?!

ar bhallán stéille = "sucking on (the) hind tit"

pull the devil by the tail = tirer la queue du diable, nath a úsáidear níos minice sa Fhraincis. Ciallaíonn sé "bheith beo bocht / struggle to get by".
Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar.
