Dear teacher...
Would you please be so kind as to give a more in-depth example of what "to climb the walls" means as an idiom ?
Thanks,

Inquirer75.

Default Re: Climbing the walls..
If someone is climbing the walls, they are very annoyed or frustrated and unable to keep still.

Hi, I'm not a teacher, but...

Couldn't this be an example?

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/backs...gthewalls.html

It's the lyrics of the song called "Climing The Walls" by Backstreet Boys.
It's a very beautiful heartrending song about a person "climbing the walls".

If you would like to listen to it, it's in the album "Never Gone"!
