"Up the wall" as in "Word use that drives you up the wall." What and where is said wall, and how does one get up it?

Incorrect: My brother accompanied my sister and I to the mall.
Correct: My brother accompanied my sister and me to the mall.

Not trolling but I hate it when people use that "word." In fact it's not even a real word, the word is regardless. You might've been making a joke and if you were I apologize because it's hard to sense humor in text.

Unless it's a peach of a speech. Then maybe they're just being economical with their syllables.

Prolly, it's just so cutesy...
Or, maybe the "Prolly" folk actually think "Probably" is spelled that way...
