I cannot think of a better translation for the 'odds and ends' euphemism than 'giuirléidí'. That term is, in my experience, used mostly in reference to peoples' personal random material goods rather than the shade of meaning being used here at LT, so it bothers me a bit. A pleasant colloquialism from one of the regional dialects would be nice if anyone happens to have a good one in their head.

I'll try and think of something as it seems from focal.ie that "giuirléidi" is the official computer term for "widgets" - I used it to translate widget and then saw that you'd used the word for "odds and ends".

For the moment I just put "tearmai faoi leith" = particular (or specific) terms.
