hungry, craving: I'm fanging for a steak.
Contributor's comments: I've also heard the term "I'm hanging for a fanging" to mean hungry - or more correctly "hangin' for a fangin'". Good on the fang means having a good appetite.
Contributor's comments: Heard in Melbourne in early eighties: Meaning: eating voraciously. 'He's just sittin' there fangin' away'.
Contributor's comments: I'm familiar with this term from where I grew up in Townsville, I also find it quite prevalent in the NT as well.
Contributor's comments: The word - Fanging - is used by my hoon-like sister to suggest a rapid acceleration in her automobile, usually to reach a destination or meeting for which she is late. Fanging suggests an urgency which can be applied to more than consumption of food.
Contributor's comments: When growing up in Ipswich we used to use 'fanging' in terms of going for a ride (with hopefully a bit of showing off). I believe it may have derived from Juan Fangio of racing car fame.
Contributor's comments: I grew up in Cairns Nth Qld and this term is common around the area.
Contributor's comments: I agree that it refers to going fast in a car, as I've often heard the phrase "he was really fanging it" and so I'd say it's true that 'fanging it' is doing something fast (at least in SA).
