Get the Holding down the fort mug.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').

Always in the club holding up the wall" -Monica featuring Dem Franchize Boyz, Everytime Tha Beat Drop

Get the i'm holding it for a friend mug.A large penis.
The term comes from a Lenny Bruce routine about African-American men ("Their wangs look like a baby's arm with an apple in its fist" as immortalized in his book _How to Talk Dirty and Influence People_), but this exact wording is taken from The Tubes' song "What Do You Want From Life", from their first album.
Since not everyone gets the reference, the term typically is used as an in-joke.
