Fixin’ To
When someone tells you that they are “fixin’ to” something, they do not mean that they will be fetching the toolbox to do some repairs, but rather that they will be doing something. For example, if someone had to say “I’m fixin’ to finally get my Ph.D.”, they mean that they wish to study further. This is quite a simple one, but the tense can vary between future and present, and Southerners often fail to establish when they will actually do something.
