O ty skubańcu! 

English Phonemes: “oh tih skooh-BA[Ń]-tsooh”

Literal Translation: Oh you pecker!

English Equivalent: Hen pecker!

This is a gentle ribbing way to call someone out for being annoying, or even mischievous and sneaky. It is even sometimes used as a euphemism if you want to avoid using naughty grown-up words.

O = oh
Ty = you [noun, subj. form, informal]
Skubańcu = pecker, pincher, picker - one who does the pinching/pecking/picking [vocative singular form of the noun]
