"Screw the pooch" có screw (up) là xử lý một tình thế rất kém -> nghĩa là gây ra lỗi lầm lớn, làm hỏng việc.
Ví dụ
The process of making beer, however, is an entirely different deal. It’s much safer. Even the most unskilled homebrewer (nhà nấu bia) probably isn’t going to screw the pooch bad enough to produce a brew toxic (độc hại) enough to get someone sick or put them six feet in the ground.
And then, too, there was “screw the pooch.” A cleaned-up version of a decidedly coarser (tục tĩu) term, it meant, in the pilot’s argot, to crash your jet or lose your spacecraft or do anything else that amounted to not flying your mission as you were expected to fly it. We all screw the pooch sometimes—at work; in our relationships; with our finances.
The Houston Astros are good at baseball–even better when they know what pitches are coming–but they screw the pooch when it comes to crisis (khủng hoảng) management.
