What is Ferneh?
1.
It’s a small-village-west -of-London colloquialism for being broke, for having no money.
It’s roots stem back to a rowdy game of Scrabble during my college years, it was a triple word score, and a verb described by a fellow player in a Clouseauesque accent as meaning 'to be penniless'. It's still used today, twenty five years later.
‘I am broke and have no money, I am ferneh.’
