Description

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.

Example

> 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.

> The whole community is feining for the new DLC trailer to drop this afternoon.
