Hector vattnar sitt pengarträd och missförstår farsan

What does “farsan” mean in Swedish?

A boy takes “water the money tree” hilariously literally, then protests: «jag ÄR ju mitt pengaträd, farsan!» (“but I AM my money tree, dad!”). Farsan is casual Swedish for “dad” or “the old man.”

It pairs with morsan (“mum”), both built from far (“father”) and mor (“mother”) plus a slangy -san. They’re warm and informal, what you’d say to friends, not the neat pappa and mamma kids use. The joke leans on a Swedish idiom too: pengar växer inte på träd (“money doesn’t grow on trees”), so Dad means the boy is the family’s real pengaträd (money tree).
