A moronic, poorly used English phrase, meaning: I'm getting ready to do (whatever the task may be), or I am preparing for something. Normally used by common hicks from the south, often those who have betrayed their fiances...
I'm fixin' to go to the bank to cash the check you gave me, since I have no money of my own and can't support my own sorry self...
Getting ready to (do something). Pronounced "fixin ta" or when contracted further "finna". There are phonemes not used in standard American English in these pronunciations so these translations are not completely accurate. Often thought to be limited to Southern white speakers (fixin' to) or African American speakers (finna) the phrase has made it into Standard American speech as "fixing to".
A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
