Colocar alguém contra a parede,no sentido de fazer uma pergunta difícil de se responder:

Hi...

Nesse caso eu diria...

E.g: I put Jessica against the wall.

PUT SOMEONE AGAINST THE WALL

Hi guys,

both expressions are useful. Indeed, each one of them may be more suitable for distinct occasions.

When you put someone on the spot it means that he/she is being highlighted for being adressed a tough question like Donay has mentioned. It means that all attention has been drawn to the person.

Put someone against the wall is like pressuring someone in order to get something.

Take care,
