What oes "*** someone up" mean?
Sorry, I don't wanna be rude 
, just heard this expression and someone told me it means confusing someone..

For example my teacher told me one day: "He fucks you up" referring to a guy I'm in love with. Of course she didn't mean litterally
Can someone help me?
Thank you!!
