Overconfidence in something.
Jack Pirogue made a bet in a bar in Cincinnati that he would make 2 of 3 darts into the double bullseye or his friends could mail his balls to the wall. He did not make the throws and had his ballsack cut off and nailed to the bar, coincidentally named Jack's. To this day if you go to the bar you can see a leathery dried up ballsack nailed to the wall.

Partying so hard that the next morning you literally feel like your balls were smashed into the wall the night before

Redman/Doc's blazin' move in the video game Def Jam: Fight For New York.
How he does it is by picking up the opponent, punching him in the groin three times, drops him, then kicks him in the groin.

term used by pilots. when accelerating quickly, the throttle is pushed all the way to the panel and the throttle lever (ball) actually touches the panel (wall). Hence, 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.

Term used to describe an intense, or extreme situation.
Origin: In aviation, the throttles (or power levers) are usually sticks with ball shaped ends. When a pilot wants full power, he moves the throttle forward towards the front wall of the cockpit. Thus, "balls to the walls" meant "full power".
