Swedish for: Danish devil. Curse-word used by both danes and swedes but with two different meanings. Swedes use it litterally meaning scoundrel, but are typically not aware of the ironic double meaning of the word: In the eyes of Danes, Swedes are a bit righteous, uptight and often display an amusing lack of humor. The word was invented and popularised in the Danish horror-comedy "the kingdom" by Danish cult director Lars von Trier. In the series, "Dansjävler" is often spoken by a righteous/foolish Swedish doctor when frustrated by Danes not living up to his strict scientific/moral standards. So the word is used by Danes to make fun of Swedes when they dont understand Danes because Swedes are full of themselves.
