"Screw him over" nghĩa là gì?

"Screw (one) over" -> nghĩa là lừa đảo, gian lận, tước đoạt ai; nghĩa khác là đặt ai vào thế bất lợi, khó khăn (không công bằng, ích kỷ).

Ví dụ 
Just because I have spare cash doesn't mean I'm happy for the big corporations to screw me over on pricing.

Reigns had all of the momentum (động lực) entering the 2016 Royal Rumble. But The Authority decided to screw him over by changing up the Royal Rumble. Instead of earning a title opportunity at WrestleMania 32, the winner would become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

I know people can get riled up (nổi khùng lên) when discussion of stars’ salaries comes into play, but this seems to me like a case of one of our greatest actors knowing what he’s worth and not kowtowing (quỳ lạy) to a corporation who would gladly screw him over if he didn’t fight tooth and nail to get what he deserved.
