balls to the wall
balls to the walls
idiom. 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".)
