   Most of your characters are always “fixin to get nekkid”. Working on BTC. Loving it!

   I moved down south in 1985 and had a devil of a time to get used to ya’ll as compared to up north’s ta da (ex:I’m going ta da store). But I am partial to fixin’ to get nekkid 😉
   Now fixin,’ fittin,’ and ya’ll have become second nature. Although saying the word ‘coffee’ will always tell everyone my true roots.

   Fixun to or fixunta, one word, is a replacement for ‘getting ready to’ or ‘preparing to’.

   So, unfortunately the answer to ‘whatcha fixin for supper?’ is ‘I’m fixunta kick your ass for talking to me that way, getcher own damn food!’ Therefore that is not a correct use for fixun!! HAHA

   If you want a more advanced lesson then you can move on to ‘finda’. It’s an abbreviation of ‘fixunta’.
   I’m fixunta go to do the store.
   I’m finda go to the store.
   We Ozark Hillbillies conserve language and consonants whenever possible.
