Scare Question

A scare question is a question that appears on a review sheet or other study materials, and hasn't been formally taught in class yet. It gets its name from the unreasonable panic that students go into when they are encountered on study sheets.
Often, scare questions don't appear on the exams that the review sheets or study materials are designed to aid people on. If a scare question DOES appear on the test, it goes by the name of "Panic Question".
Scare questions often spark fear and insecurity when encountered by students. They will feel as though they aren't good enough, or smart enough, or will fail the exam. As such, scare questions pose a significant threat to student's success, especially when they appear on practice quizzes. That's why it's important to verify that questions on study materials are from the actual topics of the test.
"Oh my god! I got a 46 on that practice quiz because there were so many scare questions!"
"I can't believe I actually got a 100 on that test! I flunked the practice tests and didn't know half of the things on the review sheet! Must have been the scare questions."

scared shitless

When you lack faith in the integrity of the door lock to the public restroom you're using, and are so paranoid someone is going to walk in on you that panic causes sphincter muscle contraction, preventing relief of your bowels.

This could actually cause your shit to take even an even more awkwardly long time to complete, when you were hoping you could pull it off like you just ran in there for a pee.

When you eventually do emerge from the restroom, the person on the other side of the door will totes know what you been up to.

Remember to wash your hands afterwards, regardless of your productivity level.
Your hope that screaming "It's occupied" loud enough for the person in the cafe hallway to hear you will spare them from walking in, creating an awkward prison-type situation between you and an eight year old child.

*Rattling of the door handle*
"IT'S OCCUPIED!!!"
*so scared you can't shit, aka being scared shitless*

scared horny

When one is so afraid and experiencing so much fear that their scared emotions get all mixed up and the end result is extreme horniness with fearful shaking and or crying. Or, when one is so horny that they find themselves absolutely terrified of everything!
"Claire couldn't stop the shaking in her legs... she didn't know if it was the fear... or the horniness. Yes, there was a murderer in the house, but she hadn't gotten any for a whole day and while she was afraid for her life she had that insatiable lust; there was only one explanation: she was scared horny."
