It's a word boys use about things that are perceived as weak/ unmanly/ for girls only. Like: "You use sunscreen? Isn't that a bit femi?" And yes, he was definitively using it as a derogatory term, I could tell by the way he said it. He squinted his eyes, and drew the word out. He later changed it to weak, and since I didn't want to start a fight or derail the lesson entirely I let him do so. But I don't think describing most pictures of Christ as weak is quite right either.
