Sometimes, when translating word by word from swedish to english, things sort of looses its meaning. I love expressions like that though and have collected them for a little while.
Here are some of my favourites:

Träsmak i ändan word by word becomes Wood taste in the bum.
We use it when we have been sitting down for too long, eg. Oh, I have to get up, I'm starting to get wood taste in my bum! Funny!

 

Jordgubbar (=strawberries) but becomes little earthmen when translating word by word.

Visa framfötterna becomes Show your front feet
Used when showing of ones talent, eg at work, Get up there and show your front feet!

 

För allt smör i Småland (=for all the butter in Småland (a Swedish district)) is used when there is something you wouldn't do in a million years.
Eg. I wouldn't do that for all the butter in Småland!

 

Is i magen (=ice in the stomach) means you are very calm.

 

Smaken är som baken - delad! (=taste is like a butt - divided!) 
Essentially means “Oh, it’s a matter of taste…” or “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…”

Used when something is painted with a lot of different colours for example.

 

Brun som en pepparkaksgubbe = Brown as a ginger bread man

Is what a Swede is always aiming for when travelling abroad, you HAVE to come home "as brown as a ginger bread man" otherwise people will doubt that you have been away at all.

Is simply used to describe an extremely calm person!'

Jag är inte den som är den = I am not that person who is that person
This is sort of hard to explain. I guess we normally use it as an answer eg,

Weird...
