Balls to the Walls

Something you say when something dramatic/shocking happens. Good or bad. ~Bribri

As Billi rushes to Ross, he drops his engagement ring in the lake. “Are you f’ing serious- my balls are to the walls!!”

Harry’s Balls were to the Walls in amazement that he found his dead grandmothers chowder recipe.

Balls to the wall

Balls to the wall did not originate with steam engines, as some of these "authority" figures on the matter state.
Remember, there were no televisions back then, nor radios, the primary media was writing in books and magazines.
An extremely cursory Google search will show you this term originated with pilots OF THE VIETNAM WAR ERA.
