It is used to describe ruining a situation through mistakes or poor judgment, often causing problems for oneself or others. People typically say "I screwed up" when admitting fault, or "You screwed up the whole plan" when blaming someone. The term originated in mid 20th century American slang, possibly from the idea of screwing something into a tangled or unusable state, and remains common in everyday speech.
