I always heard people saying this and took it to mean ‘wilin’ out’. In the sense that they freaking out or bugging out, and i took ‘wilin’ to mean going crazy, wild. Recently I noticed that there is a TV show called Wild N Out. So maybe this means that when a person is acting like this they are both ‘wild’ and ‘out’. I wonder if this could also be attributed to ‘freak’ and ‘out’ or ‘bug’ and ‘out’
Google hits show that “Wild N Out” is much more popular (about 30k for wilin and 59 million for Wild N)
