    sentence fragment, give us the whole sentence to translate, not just pieces that can be severely mistranslated.

    Giving it a HUGE leap in the dark: "......pinned him to the wall with his body" "....trapped him against the wall with his body" "....used his body to pen (X) against the wall" etc. Which one is right depends on context which you left out.

    Pried open his lips?

    Seriously, sentence fragments are a no-no in translating.

    You are either translating a love novel or an Aliens movie. Without the context we can't tell.

    It was a joke. In Japanese, Don is also a variety of rice bowl dishes. So katsu-don is Pork cutlet on rice, oyako-don is chicken and egg on rice and una-don is eel on rice. So the joke is, what dish is a kabe on rice?
