Etymology
Feku is Indian slang probably from the Hindi verb fekna which means 'to throw', or it may be influenced by the English word fake meaning 'not real'. So calling someone a Feku is like saying they 'throw out' big stories or are 'not real', which is why it means a person who lies, brags, or exaggerates.
