Question about Million Dollar Baby

[GoingUp]

At all of the boxing matches, people chant Fakoushka or something like that for Maggie. What does it mean?

Did you totally miss the ending?

Frankie gives Maggie a ?fighter nickname? of ?Mo Cuishle,? which is a mis-spelling of the Gaelic ?Mo Chuisle.? (Spoiler: this literally means ?My Pulse,? but idiomatically means ?My Darling.?)

LOL...maybe you left for the bathroom at the wrong moment, as it's explained by Dirty Harry towards the end.

Upon looking back on this movie, I don't really understand the point of it. Just a big downer movie and nothing more - Good acting of course, but what was the point of it really? It won for best picture too i think, I don't see why. If it was a true story then i could understand.
