I don’t know for sure. My mom’s favorite saying was, “stop that or I will smack the tar out of you”
I always took it to mean a real good whopping.

Mmmm, I have friends in southern Indiana who say "tar" when they actually mean "tire". Did you have somewhat of a paunch as a youngster? Perhaps your mom meant she was going to smack that (spare)"tire" out of you.
