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.

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".

About to, or getting ready to. Contrary to popular belief this phrase is not used only in the south, althought it is greatly used there.
I'm fixin to go to the store.
