re: screwed, blued, and tatooed means severely cheated. The original had "Jewed" instead of "blued", no doubt the change made to mitigate the stereotype and render the phrase more amenable to common use. "Tatooed" in this sense meaning, permanently marked as a gullible idiot.

This fellow disagrees with me, though. Says it's naval jargon for having seen and done it all. I've never heard it used like that, though.
