From the document: > balls to the wall | accelerate efforts | Attributes personality traits to anatomy. I've always thought this term had nothing to do with anatomy; am I incorrect here? From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/balls_to_the_wall > First attested in the 1960s in the context of aviation, in reference to ball-shaped grips on an aircraft's joystick and throttle. Pushing the "balls to the wall" would put the plane into a maximum-speed dive
> Not related to the vulgar sense of balls (“testicles”). |
