The art of subtly reminding someone to do something for you—like give you money, apologize, or follow through on a promise—without ever directly asking. Usually done through casual behavior, visual cues, or routine actions that nudge the other person’s memory while making you look completely innocent.
Origin: From the move of pulling out your wallet in front of someone who “forgot” to give you birthday money—making them remember, and think it was their own idea.

Example 1:
A: “Did your aunty ever give you that birthday cash?”
B: “Yup. I left my wallet on the table where she’d see it. She brought it up on her own. Full-on walleting.”
Example 2:
C: “Are you telling me you ‘accidentally’ brought up your rent again?”
D: “I’m not saying I did, but if I did, it was premium walleting.”
