10 English Idioms connected with Wall
Share and help other students to improve English skills
I was doing an exercise with one of my students recently and asked her to research how many English idioms she could find that were in some way connected to parts of a building.
I was simply amazed at the number she located and very happy she understood the majority of those idioms very well indeed.
I thought that I would share some of them with you.
Walls feature a lot in these situations.

1️⃣ back to the wall
Meaning: when you can not solve a problem and you have no one to turn to for help, you can say “my back is to the wall”
Example:
My boss has told me this report must be finished by close of business on Friday. If not I can either work on the weekend or I can find another job. My back is really to the wall on this, what choice do I have!
2️⃣ have your back against the wall
Meaning: to be in a difficult position where you have to defend yourself

5️⃣ hit the wall
Meaning: This expression is often used by athletes to describe the feeling when they get physically tired and feel they cannot continue.
Example:
I was running fine until I passed the 35km mark then I seemed to hit the wall and my legs turned to jelly.
6️⃣ talking to a brick wall
Meaning: talking to someone who either doesn’t listen or doesn’t comprehend what you are talking about
This reminds me of my school teachers.
Whenever students could not understand a simple explanation or found it difficult to understand the teacher, she would say, ‘I might as well be talking to a brick wall!’ – meaning I have a better chance of explaining this to a wall than to this class!
Example:
The bar staff that served us were so disinterested, I felt I was talking to a brick wall.

Example:
Chinese walls are an important part of investment banking best practices and compliance.
8️⃣ to be stonewalled
Meaning: to be deliberately ignored by someone
Example:
I asked him repeatedly for help he did not reply. He stonewalled me.
9️⃣ wall to wall
Meaning: describing something that fills the entire area
Frequently used when describing the interior design of an apartment or house.
Example:
The rooms were exquisitely decorated every room had wall to wall carpets and curtains.
This means the floors had fitted carpets throughout and curtains from the ceiling to the floor.

The idea for the Describing Words engine came when I was building the engine for Related Words (it’s like a thesaurus, but gives you a much broader set of related words, rather than just synonyms). While playing around with word vectors and the «HasProperty» API of conceptnet, I had a bit of fun trying to get the adjectives which commonly describe a word. Eventually I realised that there’s a much better way of doing this: parse books!
Project Gutenberg was the initial corpus, but the parser got greedier and greedier and I ended up feeding it somewhere around 100 gigabytes of text files — mostly fiction, including many contemporary works. The parser simply looks through each book and pulls out the various descriptions of nouns.
Hopefully it’s more than just a novelty and some people will actually find it useful for their writing and brainstorming, but one neat little thing to try is to compare two nouns which are similar, but different in some significant way — for example, gender is interesting: «woman» versus «man» and «boy» versus «girl». On an inital quick analysis it seems that authors of fiction are at least 4x more likely to describe women (as opposed to men) with beauty-related terms (regarding their weight, features and general attractiveness). In fact, «beautiful» is possibly the most widely used adjective for women in all of the world’s literature, which is quite in line with the general unidimensional representation of women in many other media forms. If anyone wants to do further research into this, let me know and I can give you a lot more data (for example, there are about 25000 different entries for «woman» — too many to show here).
The blueness of the results represents their relative frequency. You can hover over an item for a second and the frequency score should pop up. The «uniqueness» sorting is default, and thanks to my Complicated Algorithm™, it orders them by the adjectives’ uniqueness to that particular noun relative to other nouns (it’s actually pretty simple). As you’d expect, you can click the «Sort By Usage Frequency» button to adjectives by their usage frequency for that noun.
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source mongodb which was used in this project.
