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."

Get the Question Mark?mug. Phrase that is now used instead of "raises the question" due to the fact that the true definition is unintelligible to most people, and has little to do with an actual question.
Best not to use it at all, as you will either sound ignorant to geeks, or geeky to regular people.

Common (wrong) usage:
That really begs the question, why did she do it?
Geek (right) usage:
I'm cooler than you, because you aren't as cool as me.

Get the tactless questionmug. A question that has a hidden purpose behind it's asking. The questioner will usually ask the question to find something out without blatantly asking.
"Hey John, was Chrissy at Matt's house yesterday?"
"Yeah, they're going out... That was a loaded question, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, and thanks."
"Yeah, they're going out... That was a loaded question, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, and thanks."
