an action which makes a bad situation worse, especially in order to force someone to do something.
This phrase means to make something worse. It comes from an old torture device called the thumbscrew in which a persons thumb or finger was placed in a metal cylinder. A heavy sharp screw was then placed on the on the device and turned until it pierced the flesh. Another turn of the screw made things worse.
The phrase is "righty tighty lefty loosey". It's wording has no hidden meanings! It simply means:turn right to tighten, e.g. clockwiseturn left to loosen, e.g. counter-clockwise(If the screw threads are stripped, put a rubber band on top of the screw and turn left to loosen it.)
Basically a cleaner version of screw you or f**k you.
To slew is to turn violently aside.

Crank the engine, let it idle. If it dies, turn the screw in 1/4 turn. Crank it. Repeat until it doesn't die. Then turn it in one additional 1/4 turn. Now if you mean the mixture screw, typically 1 1/2 turns out. After you set that, rev it up. If it revs clean, leave it. Another method is to set the idle screw and set the mixture screw 1 1/4 turns out and back it out in 1/4 turn increments until further adjustments cease to increase revs at idle, then turn it 1/4 turn in.
You turn the screw in to idol down
