This is a word my Irish mother would use to describe a tantrum or hissy fit. As in "she had a figarie because I wouldn't give her chocolate"
Figarie can also be used to describe doing something on the spur of the moment. As in she "I had a mad figarie and I decided to paint the room."
"Figarie" or "figaries" is a term used in Fencing to refer to unexpected or deceptive movements made by a fencer to confuse their opponent. These movements are often used to create openings for attack or disrupt the opponent's rhythm. It is a strategic element in fencing that requires skill and timing.
