A person with a vendetta may be said to be "out to get" someone. And, when they do succeed in getting you, you can say you've been "got". A sustained, repeated attack on someone is sometimes referred to as "getting at" someone, and the subject may say they feel "got at".

Understanding the Context

1) Getting messed up = refers to becoming whatever the condition is (in a bad situation) to get messed up or getting messed up=slang that means to be drunk, drugged or having some sort of problem about something. Getting messed up is something I try to avoid. [getting messed up=subject of the sentence. See being messed up below for more grammar.] Here, the verb get means become.

Key Insights

Become is ... I was over exaggerating while writing something for class and I wrote Welcome to the most wildest show on earth. Someone pointed out the most wildest and I was wondering if it was OK to use most... Since "most of _____" is a prepositional phrase, the correct usage would be "most of whom." The phrase "most of who" should probably never be used. Another way to think about the difference between the subjective/objective pronouns is to revise the sentence to include a personal pronoun and see which form (he/him or she/her or they/them) fit.

Final Thoughts

0 I've gotten into an argument about whether "Most of what I've read is books" or "Most of what I've read are books" is correct. I think it should be "is" because "most of" refers to "what I've read" which is singular but my friend insists it should be "are" because "most of" refers to "books" which is plural.
