Derived from the word 'fiend,' this expression describes an intense, almost desperate craving or desire for something, whether it be a specific food, a new product, or social validation. It suggests a loss of composure due to how badly the person wants the object of their desire. While originally associated with addiction, its modern internet usage is hyperbolic and applied to mundane everyday wants.
- Example
-
>I haven't had a decent burger in weeks and I am straight feining for it right now.
>Look at how he's acting around that new console; he is absolutely feining for it.

This term is a corruption of the word 'fending' or 'fiending' and describes an intense, almost desperate craving for something. While it originated in the context of substance withdrawal, it is now used colloquially to describe wanting a specific food, a person's attention, or a new video game release. It conveys a sense of restless energy and an inability to focus on anything else until the desire is satisfied.

> I am actually feining for a spicy chicken sandwich right now because I haven't eaten all day.
> Stop feining for her texts and just put your phone away for five minutes.
