There are so many from where I grew up (the South). 'Fixin' to' is one of them (e.g., "I'm fixin' to go to the store"). What exactly are they 'fixin'? There are so many...

@Markinator That's actually not an incorrect grammatical choice, at least not in the Southern dialect. Its a lot like the AAVE word "finna", which is, *I think*, where the word came from. Basically, its just a simple contraction in that case.

@lissah No worries - it's very endearing say such things. And lostlissa, you can do no wrong in my book!
