Please, I really need a hand!!!
I'd like to know the meaning of the following. Unfortunately, I don't have the context. Please, help me to understand them:
1) When you are requesting (an information or any other thing, for e.g.):
- I seem to be boxed in (I'm not sure I can get out); =
- Will there be room for me to get out? =
2) When you're expressing interest:
- I go for...in a big way. =
I appreciate your kind help,
Dinorah

Hi Dinorah, I'm afraid I can't make any sense of your first one. If you are boxed in, you have no options, but it doesn't relate to a request for information. I know you said you don't have context, but any additional help as to why you put them together would be good.

- If you "go for something in a big way" it means that you really like it.
- You can feel that way about seafood, or a particular music band, or a hobby...

Hi,Grammar Geek
Returning to the issue about this sentence : "I seem to be boxed in" (I'm not sure I can get out), as I said before, it appears in a book without any context as a 'communicative function' when we are requesting for an information or any other thing, for e.g. But you had said it doesn't relate to a request for information. So, can you give me
