"Véner" is "verlan" (meaning "à l'envers", the other way around) and it is to be read backwards as "énervé".
Meaning: I was so mad (cross), I can't tell you
A passport to the Mysterious World of the Young
Another favourite is "reloud", meaning "lourd", that is heavy / boring

So how do you pronounce "véner"? I'm guessing vé-nere" (e-grave r e) to rhyme with "hair".

Wow French backslang - probably invented it. Goes in phases in uk - is it continuously in use in France? Which age-groups would use it?
