Yeah, but they got rid of most of the oranges and built more homes for more damyankees to infiltrate and overrun us. Shoot fire, even the croc's and gators dislike them.

I don't think so. I've been trying to follow the etymology(sp) of that phrase for years. When I searched online all I ever got was its meaning. I know that it means "going to" but I was just wondering where it originated. It's been used for at least a century I'm sure. It's the word "fixin" that confuses me. Where, in this country do people use the word "fix" rather than "plan, intend, going"? I'm wondering how "fix" became a synonym for another action. Purely curiosity on my part. It certainly was not derived from a foreign language and therefore, must be purely an American invention. Never hear it used back East unless by Teyuxuns (correct pronunciation in Texas). Thanks for your response though.
