holding up the wall

Based on lyrical evidence, this term refers to those that visit a club and, instead of dancing and being sociable, remain out the outskirts of the dance floor, away from the 'action.'

A more traditional term for this behavior is 'wallflower.'

However, as evidenced in 'Everytime Tha Beat Drop' example below, 'holding up the wall' may also refer to a case where an individual requests that another engage in an activity only to be turned down due to (occasionally perceived) social or financial status (i.e. the archetypal 'girl that's too good for you').

"I'm soon to motivate the room ... If you holdin' up the wall, then you missin' the point." -Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says

"Cause I ain't one of these too bourgeois broads /
Always in the club holding up the wall" -Monica featuring Dem Franchize Boyz, Everytime Tha Beat Drop

Shits Me Up the Wall

"Shit (or Shits) me up the wall" is basically another way of saying "Drives me crazy", often used among Australians.

It's assumed to be similar to "Drives me up the wall", although nobody's quite sure what it means exactly. Still; it's commonly used.

The new girls' generation song is catchy but I don't wanna listen to it too much; getting songs stuck in my head shits me up the wall.

Pissed up the wall

To have spent money buying alcohol to drink.

Came across it c.50years ago when a teenager on a building site.
I think it may be where "pissed up" meaning to be drunk came from.

Foreman: "It's Monday and he asked for a sub, he got paid on Friday! All his wages pissed up the wall"
Me: "What's pissed up the wall?"
Foreman: "What? Oh, it's going out and getting drunk."
Me: ....?
Foreman: "Staggering home they'll feel like a piss and go against the nearest wall: what they'd spent their wages on just gets pissed up the wall."
