<upd_detl>As a native speaker of American English, "to screw up" doesn't fit in the first sense to me. I don't think there's a case where "to screw up" means something like "to put the screws on (a person)". 

Without additional context, my strong association of "to screw up" is with the meaning of "to mess up". There is the usage "to screw up one's face (in disgust)", but I think it only applies to yourself, so I'm not sure it fits either, since as I understand it this would generally be an action taken on someone/something else.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>"screw up" belongs in the other sense, which all the refs put first. I'll expand and reorder.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>added more glosses and used neck/throat as examples which most kokugos do + changed the "screw" gloss to be more clear
gg5 uses "put the screws on" but i think it's a mistranslation, kokugos all use "せめる", "苦しめる" or "取り締まる" and i don't believe it's helpful at all as it has a pretty different meaning in english
gave "settle accounts" its own sense

i wonder if i might have missed a better way to make it clear that "絞め上げる" can only be used for the 1st sense (and possibly when referring to "首")?</upd_detl>
