I used to believe that the meaning of term "screw you" was "forget you" (or something like that) because, often when people are frustrated, they'll say "screw this!"
As a child, I had just broken up with my "first boyfriend." My "friend" liked him and was talking relentlessly about him one day. I soon became annoyed with this (my wounds still fresh) and responded to her: "Well, just screw him! I don't care anymore!"
She obviously knew the exact meaning of "screw" because she never talked to me again.
