Danish term or phrase: kræft æde mig
I am looking for an English idiom that is common in the Midwest of the United States that equates 'kræft æde mig' as a stand alone statement.

Fuck me.
Explanation:
Try saying it out loud. I'm not aware of a different term that is used exclusively in the Midwest.

Keep in mind that it is simply "fuck you" aimed at oneself when something bad happens to oneself, bad news, etc.
