Sweating bullets

Posted by Armin on July 20, 2005

In following discussion :
So after eyeballing my hard drive, my friend the computer geek knew immediately that I had lost all my files! There was nothing left! I started sweating bullets because I knew I had to create the illustrations again from scratch
what is the meaning of sweating bullets ? Does it means be very worried be nervous ?
