Far åt fanders, surgubbe!
I have no idea what this means but I'm sure it's a phrase I'd use a lot at work.
There is no litteral translation that I can find, but an approximate would be:
Go to heck, old man!
Pretty much. DeepL offered "go to hell, sourpuss" which I also find to be in the spirit of the phrase. I intentionally chose those words to make it a bit difficult to properly translate. You can be sure that it is a proper curse however.
It's somewhere between the two.
Fanders is a "cleaner" version of "fan", a dated term for the devil. Rather akin to how how you could say heck instead of hell, or fiddlesticks instead of fuck.
Surgubbe is a compound word consisting of the words sur meaning sour/crabby/moody, and gubbe, which generally means old man. Gubbe on its own could also be an endearing term without any sort of age indication related to it. One could say something like "men åh lilla gubben" to a kid that's like faceplanted or something.
Personally I'd say surgubbe has a bit of a juvenile tone to it, which I think sourpuss also conveys. It lacks the gender that surgubbe has though.
Yep. Good explanation.
