Oddly, many remember this expression as a term used in describing music i.e. This is screwed music, or this tune is screwed... without realizing the basis of it.
In the 'old days' mechanical turntables were used to 'play' 'records'. These had an adjustment screw which allowed one to set its rotation speed to a calibrated reference, to maintain 'high fidelity', (usually a radial pattern was put on the turntable and a 60 hz lamp made a standing wave pattern which visually allowed a user to synch the speed to the lamp). The 'screw' which was actual a 'bolt', would move an internal cone, and attachment to the spindle of the drive motor, and there a transfer wheel rubbing on the inside of the bottom of the turntable wheel, would press on it. Thus turning the screw, forced the transfer wheel to locate itself along a different conic radius, spinning the record at a different speed.
As the 'art' of 'playing a record' evolved, the use of this 'screw' to imply a taste onto the record playback, through its speed, became popular. Some turntables were later offered with servo (electromechanical) screws, so that speed modification, could be encoded and programmed, for repeatable shows. It was first merely a technology, which turned to art, and then converted to an appreciation of the result, which made this term popular... then, the term... became separated and self standing as slang.

Shortened version for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Screw.
A screw that has threads that go both ways. No matter which way you turn it, always goes farther up your ass. It is a way to represents how RPI makes life unnecessarily difficult for RPI students.
Every RPI student has been 'tute screwed at least once or has only been on campus a few weeks.

You are required to register for two different classes, but they are held at the same. Both are required prerequisites for other courses that you also have to take. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.
The course catalog for your curriculum lays out required, restricted-required and suggested optional classes that total to 123 credits, but you need 124 to graduate. You're on track to be one credit short of graduation, but you don't discover this until your second semester senior year. And not once, did any of the professors or your academic adviser ever point that out during the previous seven semesters in which you were enrolled at RPI. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.
The Board of Trustees promises that hikes in parking fees will be used to improve and expand parking lots. Shortly after paying for the privilege of parking, the Trustees change their mind and use the fees to plug general budget deficits. Now, assuming you can find a parking spot, you risk damage to your car because of the pot holes that weren't filled. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.
After you graduate, RPI sends you a diploma if your debts to them are satisfied. After you get the diploma, RPI sends you bills for debts they claim you owe. While you defend yourself against these bills, their fund raisers constantly telephone you looking for donations. They don't see the irony in this. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.

A word used to describe any situation that is indescribably fucked up. When used out of these dire situations, it is acceptable for the surrounding people to laugh and throw excrement. Whether "shit-screwed" is appropriate in a give situation is completely up to the present audience, and thusly should be used with caution.
Thing 1: Dick Cheney just loaded up my face with bird shot!
Thing 2: Ahhh, thats sucks dude. You got royally shit-screwed.
Thing 1: Don't I know it. That criminal fucking raped everything above my penis with his 12-guage.
