One can use this to guage a yankee's assimilation into "southern culture" I have noticed many a yankee's horror when they unwittingly use it and have its use brought to their attention. Especially after swearing an oath they they will NEVER use "fixin to" in a sentence! ==================================================================== another common word: fixin (fixing...about to, going to) "I'm fixin ta bust out a can o' whoop-ass all ova ya lazy hide" "I'm fixin ta fail this class if I cain't git mahself some study help"
