I am translating some tweets, which are included in a complaint for calumnies and libel. The tweets are full of slang expressions from Argentina:
"Y si me sobas bien la poronga pedazo de judía malcogida"
"malcogida" is an expression meaning that a woman is hysterical.
Thank you for your responses!

"badly screwed"
The meaning here is not "hysterical", but "badly fucked up". Literally.
Meaning wise I am certain.
My low confidence level is for the English expression. But the idea is that the "lady" has been "screwed (up)" literally and figuratively.
It is derogatory and offensive, of course.

: Not really, John. It refers mainly to a lack of sex or poor sex that is supposedly responsible for the woman's foul character.

Probably my Henglish is not the best here, but yup, it could go either way. Chema's note is on point. What you say is what I meant with "badly fucked" almost as in "fubar"

: De acuerdo. Insulto bastante común y sexista, por supuesto. Nada que ver con lo histérico.

: In Portuguese, people say "mal comida" (poorly fucked) and the softer version "mal amada" (poorly loved), both to refer to a woman who is in a bad mood, angry. If "malcogida" has the same meaning, "badly screwed", "badly fucked" seem to be good options.

Not at all.
Coger = to fuck. Simple.
Dudo que exista expresión equivalente en inglés. Se trata en cualquier caso de un insulto grosero y de tinte sexista.
