It means you are about to do something, or more accurately you are doing something now that will lead to you doing the thing that you are fixin' to do. Fixing = preparation

Others here have the pronunciation wrong, when spoken it sounds like one word: "fixina" which led to it's child word finna
In the South we like to run our words together, it's too hot to pronounce every letter.

Texan: "I'm fixing to go unload my pickup cuz it's full of junk and I've gotta go get cokes for the party."
Translation: I am in the process of preparing to go begin unloading the miscellaneous items from the back of my truck because I must go purchase beverages for the party.

fixins

A Southern (USA) word for the supplemental food, dishes, ingredients, and accompaniments to whatever you are eating, cooking, or serving.

A hamburger can have fixins (tomatoes, pickles, ketchup), barbecued meat can have fixins (baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad), and even fixins can have fixins (baked beans made with added bacon, toppings for a baked potato).

For Thanksgiving dinner we had turkey with all the fixins--cranberry sauce, green beans, wild rice, sweet potatoes.

I'll have the fajita burrito with all the fixins like grilled onions, green peppers, sour cream, cheese.

What fixins would you like with your burger, hon?

I like all the fixins with my Chinese food--wonton soup, egg roll, lots of rice with the dish, and a fortune cookie at the end.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
