There is no real meaning to 'Fee, fi, fo, fum'. It's just a nonsense expression like 'Ho, ho, ho', and 'Tantantara'. Such expressions are the staff of life of Fairy Tales and pantomimes. perhaps it originally meant: fear fire foe (run)!!?????

"Fee fie foe fum" is the opening line of the English fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk." It is used by the giant to threaten Jack when he discovers him in his castle. The phrase is meant to convey a sense of intimidation and danger.
