I'm sure he meant some distinctive feature of an individual. Actually 'fishka' is a slang word that comes directly from the English's 'feature'. At first this word was used in computers and programming and was pronounced like 'ficha' in Russian. Later some people started to use it for subjects as well, and changed the pronounciation just for fun I suppose.

Example: у него фишка - в кино ходить пьяным
