Engineering term - Screw it home, means what exactly?

screw until it stops without undue force

Force the bastard up until it goes no further

screw up until resistance felt

It's the instructions for my cream maker on Kenny the mixer.

Is that not the same as " nip it up" or just a gnats?
Not to be confused with " just a bawhair more".

Yeah? What? Been working away in South Africa. Lovely weather, just back to Northamptonshire and it's bleak as bleak can be out there. In answer to your question, option 3 is my guess, until resistance is felt. Is there a spring washer or other locking device on it?

Fully tighten without undue force.
