Screw up

Hi,

In AmEng, I always heard people say a phrase "....screw up...." I think I know the meaning of this phrase, but I don't really know how to make right sentences using this words.

Can I say,

1. " oh, you're crazy. You just always screw thing up!"

2. " I screw up with him" --> we broke up.

3. " If you keep on doing this, you screw up the whole plan"

4. " I'm so screwed up because of you"

Thanks!

Hi Miyabi You seem to have basically the right idea. I'd recommend a few corrections, however: 1. " O h, you're crazy.

Hi Miyabi

You seem to have basically the right idea. I'd recommend a few corrections, however:

1. " Oh, you're crazy. You just always ***** things up!"

2. " I *****ed up with him" --> we broke up.

3. " If you keep on doing this, you will ***** up the whole plan."
