Da utter day I was talkin' to a man. He had gotten skered bout sumptin. He said it scared the stew outta 'im. Now, heck he wasn't throwin' up or nutin'. He was just shore nuff skered.
Well, I done had tha daylights scared out of me, had the soup scared out of me, the snot, the sh-um...bodookus scared out of me,the stuffin', the heck, the mud, the shine, the bejeezus, and the mess...
Cain't say as I ever had the stew scared out of me.
But I drove through a bunch of "lovebugs" durin' matin' season in southeast Texas, and my windshield looked like somebody'd slung snot through a flour sifter!
Don't forget "scared the Hell out of me". I'd say that "scared the stew" out of me is a sub-set of scared the shit/crap/poop out of me. Whatever material the shit/crap/poop was composed of could then be inserted for the generic substance. Thus you have a litteny of substances: beans, stew, soup, pie,etc.. Now the one that is the exact opposite of that one causes consternation however: I was scared shitless. I wandered over here from the rednecks blog.
Well, onced I got so skeert I messed my britches, and come ta think of it, Ma did make a pot of stew and a mess o' turnip greens that night fer supper. So yeah, I guess you kin say I had the stew skeert outta me.
