I am grateful for the suggestions everyone has made so far. Unfortunately, none of them feels quite right in the context. One of the reasons, which I forgot to include information about, is that the author refers back to this phrase by rephrasing it a bit to make it positive. A bit below the author writes: Resultatet är Cainiao, vars känslomässiga översättning lyder: hejsan-hoppsan-ojsan + mike-drop
So I want to try to find something that I can use in both cases. I know I will probably have to find another solution and simply go for meaning, but I figured I would see what we could come up with.

I will not be able to use "chickenshit". It is too strong. The text is a blog entry for a company's website. it is informal, but only up to a point.

@all At present, I don't think either of the suggestions are quite right and I've checked before saying this. Hugh though comes closer for me when he says "chickenshit". "Crap" was the first word to cross my mind and this is not far off from "chickenshit". But will the asker want to use such strong language?
