When a person fakes his/her own disconnection from an MMO (massively multiplayer online game). It was coined after the WOW (World of Warcraft) Hunter class ability "Feign Death." In which the character fakes his/her own death to avoid being attacked.
Joe: Because I decided to feign sleep in order to not walk the dog and ended up falling asleep at 6PM then woke up at 12AM and couldn't fall back asleep.
Mom: Get ready for school!
Child: *cough* *cough* *licks palms* Mom I think I'm sick! Feel my hands.
Mom: Oh gosh, your hands are all clammy! You must be really sick. Would you like to take a feign pill before you get ready?
Boss: Did you steal office supplies from the office?
Jeff: Of course not! Why would I do that? I have a small investment in the company that supplies the advertising for the office supply companies so if I stole supplies from the office I would be stealing money from myself
Boss:...ok...get back to work Jeff: It's a good thing I'm can Feign Logic real well (says Jeff as he sneaks more pens into his bag)
