Is "wear you out" a Southern thing-as in your momma telling you "I'm gonna' wear you out" (spank) if you acted up in church.

Notice you said "acted up". That's how I was raised to call misbehaving.

Where did this "acted out" come from. I hear that everywhere now.

To be truly Southern is must be followed by "boy"; "Ahm gonna war you out, boyah."

It must be - I sure heard it growing up! The folks were fixin' to get riled up if I didn't simmer down.

I heard it first from an Alabama girl. She also used "croaker sack" for gunnysack. (frogs, I'm sure...)
