Swedish term

"satt som skit på ett lakan"

May offend Swedish to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama slang expressions
Members of a rock group discussing how brilliantly they performed. I've got as far as I want to translate to "That went down like..." and now I need inspiration. Prostitutes, blow jobs, money etc fits the context, but I can't come up with a snappy phrase right now!

"that went down like a hooker in a whore house"

Peer comment(s):
