Ok, maybe I’m just a potty mouth, but I just can’t think of a non-profane phrase that quite has the flexibility of “You’re screwed.” It’s so flexible and nothing even compares nuance-wise, dopers, I have a new baby, help me find a new catch-all phrase.
S.O.L. -still cussy
f*#@-way still cussy
got shafted-still innuendoy
This may go far to prove to myself that there is a place for profane language. I had a guy today show his cards to another player and ask his opinion, the player responded “You are F*#@ed.” Well, he pretty much was. Yes, he was beat, but beat doesn’t really catch the full feel of it.
Have you tried Scots swearing? The perfect way to curse without swearing a word in English - and there is no other nation on earth that excels in it quite as much as we do! If there was an Olympics of swearing we might actually win something…
Try this - (most satisfying) - rush it all together at volume, with as a low pitch as you can do and a Scottish accent!
‘Git yersel awa tay faa ya basa’
(Get yourself away to fck you bastrd)
Here are some other fine lowland Scots swears - yes they are all real, and yes I use them frequently.
You’ll know what you’re saying, but your little bubba won’t!

“The PTA has disbanded!” from that classic Simpsons moment is used between me and Mom to express consternation.
“No, no, the PTA hasn’t disbanded!” Guy jumps back in broken window; “Oh, OK.”
Huh? I thought “SOL” meant “Shucks, out of luck” -? Or maybe “Spit, out of luck” -? And “FUBAR” means “Fouled up beyond all recognition” -?
Of the suggestions, I second “You’re toast.” Or previously, “Your goose is cooked.” But I guess, heck, that train just left the station, and you weren’t on it.
There’s no reason we can’t be creative here. “Since you’re here, we can stop looking for roadkill for the stew pot.”
