Halloween is coming soon! Are you scared? This week’s idiom is “scared stiff,” meaning really scared. In other words, you are so scared that you can’t move and your body is stiff (rigid, motionless).
For example, “When I heard strange noises outside my house, I was scared stiff.”
For a funny, real-life example, check out this video of a baby scared stiff (sometimes) of his mother blowing her nose. 🙂
