According to Google translate:

Perkele - Evil spirit or a version of "god damn"

Mene kusemaan muuntajaan - Go pee on the transformer

A Finn once described the ... intensity of 'perkele' when used as an insult/curse to me, as: 'it is worse than 'horseshit', it is worse than 'god damn!', it is like you or it are worse and worth less and more despicable than flaming diarrhea from Satan himself'.

This was the first time I heard (saw) someone say it to a Finn and I was like wow what the heck just happened?

This user was pretty chill and then BAM! Insta-rage!

a Finnish user getting really offended at the word perkele
