People are wrong, nothing can be done about it. Without errors, there is no experience, as Pushkin said so. To fix a miss, there are many words in the language. But today we turn to the slang definition, which is very fond of young people and Dr. House. Perhaps the reader already understood: we will talk about what a word like "screw up" means? This is a synonym for the word "make a mistake," but let's look at it in a broader sense.
Value
In the introduction, we have already begun to make sense. A person can make a mistake, but he can also behave quite differently from what people expect from him. Imagine a guy comes on a date, invites a girl to an expensive restaurant. The couple orders everything they want, and then it turns out that the cavalier has forgotten his wallet at home. What happened to him? That's what it means to screw up! This is not very nice. But this is not the only meaning of the word. The verb "screwed up" has two meanings:
- Make mistake.
- Behave unworthy or bad. Do not meet someone's expectations.
Suppose the behavior of the young man from the example accumulates almost all possible meanings: the girl expected him to pay, but he was without money. The guy made a mistake, behaved inappropriately, as a result, his behavior did not meet the expectations of the woman. In short, he screwed up.
Watching the series “House Doctor” and thinking about the issue of screwing up - this is how to understand, encourages the generation of a more general definition. What unites all cases when a person is mistaken? He does not reach the goal. When one about the other, using a slang word, says that he was mistaken. The general sense is that someone has not reached the goal. The guy wanted to start a romance - he did not succeed. And so in each case.
Everybody lies and lies
Dr. House, by the way, also messes up, that is, he is mistaken. And for the case several times, then a sudden inspiration, and that's it - the puzzle is solved. A more general definition applies to the illustrious series. When the head of the diagnostic department accuses someone of a mistake, he means that the person has not reached the goal. Want to know what is screwed up? It's simple: take a look around or watch Dr. House.
At the same time, one should not think that making mistakes is bad. To make mistakes is inevitable. If a person associates a slip and a moral assessment, nothing good will come of it. Therefore, one must accept House aphorisms and calm down, for such is the world.
It remains to wish the reader that the word "screw up" was rarely applied to him and that he would have fewer gross, fateful mistakes.
