definitions from The

Cambridge Dictionary of

of American English:

Screw:  to cheat or deceive;

to waste time

Screw up:  to spoil or destroy or 

    to damage someone;

    to strengthen or

    to make more powerful;

    to twist or crush paper;

    to make a mistake or

                 to spoil something.

She adds,

“I am sorry that screwing up my son is

your primary concern.”
