He would break your neck and he would be put in jail for manslaughter, it means that they think illogically ( do you understand that)
 
stop trying to use scienctific words or different words than what it really means. It was meant to mean that you don't think straight because if your heads on backwards it isn't straight. So not thinking straight basically came from having your head screwed on backwards
