"Perkeleen" is used nearly synonymously with "fucking" though (as in, "devil" isn't really considered swearing in the English language). I read it as "fucking cunthead". Which is lovely indeed!
Disclaimer: my knowledge of the Finnish language is mostly limited to profanity.
I'd rate 'perkeleen' to be slightly 'softer' than 'fucking'. 'Vittu' (or 'vitun') is the best translation for 'fucking'. Not sure if there's a better word for it in English, but maybe something like 'damn' or 'bloody'.
