[quote=Anonymous]I wonder how much of people's reactions is due to a different response to the use of "screwed"? My generation (thank-you note writing, just missed boomerdom) tends to use it as a synonym for "out of luck in a notable but not life-ruining way." Back in the day, Hillary Clinton used it to describe the status of some people who missed their entry time on a White House holiday party, and she used it in the sense of "This is really unfortunate and I wish it could be fixed," but not as "THIS IS THE END OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR ADMINISTRATION," which is how a lot of you seem to be taking it. I guess it's become harsher over time?[/quote]
