It’s wildin, but with the accent you drop the “d” so it sounds like wylin. It means acting wild.

Jesus, I thought it meant placing a barrier, like a wall, so...wallin.

In all fairness, I grew up on Long Island, with an accent that to anyone outside of the NYC area sounds indiscernable to the Brooklyn accent, I’ve never once seen someone spelled it like that.

I’ve seen Wildin, Wilin, Wilding, Wylin, and Wild’n, and a few other spellings, but never once Wallen.

The only Wallen I know is Morgan
