"I am screwed."

It's casual, as you might suspect.

I'd say, "I'm thwarted."

If your friend borrowed your car and got into a hit and run accident with out telling you. When the cop shows up at your door steps to look for the owner. "you are screwed" by your friend.

If someone did something bad to cause you problem as a result, you can use that expression.

Can it mean " I am drunk"?

I've never heard it used that way.

When used in the active voice, we often say, "He really screwed me up," to distinguish the "thwarted" use from the sexual use.

But the expression, "I'm screwed up," or "I'm messed up" is sometimes used to mean, "I'm drunk," or "high" on some substance.

In "I'm screwed," "to *****" can be taken as a passive verb (eg, "I have been screw

Hi Lamjin

No, that expression is not normally used to mean "I am drunk".

However, if you are very drunk, you might end up doing something stupid that gets (or will get) you into trouble. Then you might say "I'm screwed".

In "I'm screwed," "to *****" can be taken as a passive verb (eg, "I have been screwed") or as a participle as adjective, just as in "I'm thwarted "

Wow! for as long as my life living in the US, I have never "thwarted" associated with " screwed".

Ok, a couple of comments:

Goodman "screwed up" has absolutely no literal connection with being drunk.
We may say " the engine calibrated is all screwed up after he tweaked with it".

Hi guys,

Please note that one meaning of the word '*****' is sexual. For this reason, be careful with the phrase 'I'm screwed' and use it only in a relaxed and informal setting.

Best wishes, Clive

<< Personally, I think it's perfect. I don't have my thesaurus handy. Perhaps you can offer a proper synonym.
