By whom? I haven't heard "feening".
I can imagine someone saying "I'm a fiend for chocolate", and it wouldn't be much of a stretch to "I'm fiending for chocolate", but I haven't heard it.

There are a few references to "feening" on the web. Enough to say that the usage exists, but hardly enough to indicate the term has any wide usage.

[nq:1]Yes - Fiend is the word. Thanks.[/nq]
No, "feen" is the word. It was "fiend", but it's now "feen" in certain people's lexicon. Once people start using a bastardization of a word it becomes a word even it it's ridiculous.
Consider "Ho". It was "***", but is now a word of its own. We may not like it, use it, or agree with it, but it is established as a word in use.

I've only heard it used for caffeine and nicotine. Its typically used by smokers who are having a nic-fit. I haven't heard it for about 5 years, though, if not more. I've always imagined that it was spelled "fin." I'm not sure why.
