Ối, hết hồn à! Photo by 张 学欢 on Unsplash

"Be scared witless" = dọa sợ hết hồn. "Be bored witless" thì là buồn chán đến phát điên. "Witless" có nghĩa là khùng, mất trí.

Ví dụ
Visually (hình ảnh) beautiful, but I'm bored witless with the lack of story so far.

A second or two later, I assessed (đánh giá) the situation. It was an earthquake (động đất). And we were scared witless.

I even know some grown men who are scared witless of clowns (chú hề), kaakaamotobi (masqueraders - dạ hội giả trang), or any sort of painted faces.

Not every turkey you bump (va phải) is scared witless. Plenty of gobblers (gà trống tây) will shy away from a setup just because they see something that’s not quite right, says Jeff Budz.
