force someone's back to the wall

I only found one use at Google Books, none at News, and one (paywalled) at Scholar of this in the figurative sense in our definition. We have no citations at all in the entry. I wouldn't be surprised if someone found more cites, but the expression seems awkward to me. DCDuring (talk) 22:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Cited, primarily used in politics as it seems. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 23:22, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
