Strongly related to the term "
fixins
", "fixin' to" is a United States
Southern
ism. If you say that you are fixin' to do something, it means that you're
preparing
to do it or will be doing it soon. For example, one might say, "I'm fixin' to go to the store. Ya'll wanna come?" This phrase sometimes annoys those from north of the
Ohio River
-- my parents (natives of
Maine
and
Illinois
) certainly didn't seem too
overjoyed
when I dragged it home from
kindergarten
. (If I remember correctly, it went in the pile of "words to quickly eradicate from my vocabulary" with ain't and ya'll)
