意味
To be acting a bit crazy.
文化的背景
In Sweden, calling someone 'galen' (crazy) can be quite strong, but 'ha en skruv lös' is often seen as a softer, more humorous way to point out eccentricity. Even though Swedes are informal, this phrase is generally too 'slangy' for a professional environment. It's better to use 'ogenomtänkt' (unthought-out) for bad ideas. The phrase is common in Swedish children's literature and cartoons to describe 'mad scientist' characters or silly villains. On Swedish forums like Flashback, the phrase is used frequently to dismiss conspiracy theorists or trolls.
Use 'nog'
Adding 'nog' (probably) makes the phrase sound more natural and less aggressive: 'Han har nog en skruv lös.'
Not for Doctors
Never use this in a medical context. It's for jokes and casual talk only.

The 'Eller' ending
In spoken Swedish, adding 'eller?' at the end turns it into a rhetorical question: 'Har du en skruv lös, eller?'
