From TahitiGuide. com comes the best explanation for my disposition this week:

“Je suis Fiu” est une expression souvent entendue en Polynésie Française, difficile à traduire simplement, il exprime une sorte de lassitude, qui pourrait se traduire approximativement par “ Farniente ”. Surtout il justifie l’arrêt immédiat de toute activité, voire le manquement à une promesse de rendez-vous. C’est une sorte de sentiment d’abandon général, parfois dû à une bringue (une fête) de la veille, ou parfois également sans aucune raison particulière.
