    I suppose it can mean that in swedish as well, as in “du har skit/lort på kläderna”

        Yepp, kind of, except it says on your clothes, so it’s less specific

          Ok, so kläderna is clothes. Interesting. Wonder how much that has to do with clad in English:

          transitive verb

          1. To sheathe or cover (a metal) with a metal.
          2. To cover with a protective or insulating layer of other material.
          3. To clothe.

          (I looked but didn’t actually find a link between the two)
