balls to the wall

To push to the limit, go all out, full speed.
A very colorful phrase, one needs to be careful when using "balls to the wall". Although its real origin is very benign, mos people assume it is a reference to testicles.
In fact it is from fighter planes. The "balls" are knobs atop the plane's throttle control. Pushing the throttle all the way forward, to the wall of the cockpit, is to apply full throttle.

backs to the wall

Phrs. A homophobic comment and warning to fellow heterosexuals that contact with a gay male is likely or happening. From the misconception that all gay males will endevour, or want to have anal intercourse with any male. Derog.

"Here come's David! Backs to the wall, lads!"

"Oh fuck off."

From here to the wall

An expression meaning a large amount of something.
Derived from Trump's idea of a wall on the southern border of the US with Mexico, as someone's current location in relation to said wall would be a large distance.

Kid: I need you to fill this bag with candy from here to the wall.

Joe: Stacy gave us a giant list of things to do, I swear it was from here to the wall.

Bob: I have so much homework today man, it's from here to the wall.

to the window to the wall

The window is where you enter the pussy

The wall is once you're inside what you are rubbing up against

After that you skeet, skeet

Three, six, nine, damn your fine
Move it till you sock it to me one more time
Get low, get low, get low, get low

To the window- to the wall
Till the sweat drop down my balls
All these bitches crawl
Y'all skeet skeet motherfuckers
Y'all skeet skeet god damn (God Damn!!!)
Y'all skeet skeet motherfuckers
Y'all skeet skeet god damn (God Damn!!!)

balls to the wall

This term significantly predates airplanes all together. The term "balls to the wall" originated with James Watt's invention of the centrifugal governor used on early steam engines (circa 1774, well before the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk). Over the years, these types of governors were adapted for use on various other types of engines, including many aircraft engines. Some aircraft have a ball shape at the end of the throttle control, which is actually a clever reference to the governor mechanism, no doubt conceived by a witty designer. It is easy to see where one could get the (wrong) impression that "balls to the wall" would indicate the position of the throttle lever, when in fact, the term, strictly speaking, is a reference to the position of the weights on the governor.

Increase engine speed! Balls to the wall!
