Wrighty

To Pull A Wrighty:

'Wrighty' is a slang word that first developed around the year 2000 AD. It is believed the term is derived from the social behavour of a single man.
This individual would constantly 'forget' his wallet in times where money was due to change hands (for food, tobacco, alcohol and many other items). The individual would usually claim that he had
accidently picked up his national insurance card, or perhaps a Game reward card, instead of his switch card, and would then then proceed to 'pad down' his pockets, in an attempt to cover up the fact that the cash card was left at home on purpose. He would then have to borrow money from his friends, often claiming that he would "pay it back when we got back to the house". These loans were very rarely paid back, and the originator of the term would often go to extreme lengths in order to not pay back the smallest of debts.
If someone constantly forgets their wallet.
Never pays back a loan.

Chances are this individual can be described as a 'wrighty', or is
likely to have pulled a 'wrighty'.
