(India) An alcoholic drink made in Goa, India, from fermented cashew apples or coconut toddy (sap)..
A shot of Indian-made spirits is about Rs 40 to 60 (mixers cost extra) and a shot of feni is Rs 20.[…]Goans are keen to offer advice to foreigners; don't drink it on an empty stomach, don't mix it with other spirits, and certainly don't swim after a couple of fenis.
The Department of Agriculture's official definition of feni is many soulless removes from its ebullient metaphysics; ‘Feni (the more accurate rendering, as opposed to the Portuguese 'fenim') has achieved the status of a generic term applying to a wide variety of distilled alcoholic liquors derived from extracts of the coconut palm and the cashew fruit.'
Feni is really country liquor that has risen from its lowly status.[…]Whatever claims the Goans may lay to its potency, feni is no stronger than whisky or vodka.
Use feni when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
