意思
Someone is not acting sensibly or is foolish.
文化背景
The horse is a symbol of strength and reliability. In Swedish folklore, the 'Bäckahästen' is a mythological horse, showing how deeply horses are embedded in the psyche. In the past, having a 'full stable' was a sign of a successful and sane farmer. This idiom preserves that agrarian value system. Even though most Swedes live in cities now, they still use farm metaphors. It shows a nostalgic connection to the 'stuga' (cottage) lifestyle. Swedish humor often relies on 'understatement' (underdrift). Using a long phrase about horses instead of just saying 'stupid' is a perfect example of this.
Use it for yourself
It's a great way to apologize for a small, stupid mistake without sounding too serious.
Mind the 'inte'
Remember that 'inte' changes position in 'att'-clauses. This is a common test question!
