Who Here Says "Fixin to"?

That also loosely means "going" or "going to", correct? Actually pretty close to "fixin". Just realized. Good post.

Even more reason not to speak that way. Holla!

The original and best - Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag, Country Joe and the Fish. Did a gig with Joe McDonald about ten years ago here in the UK. Quite a guy.

First thing I thought of.

It needs Fixed.

That construction is actually quite common in the Old Northwest (basically, anywhere from Harrisburg PA to Chicago, but not Chicago itself) and comes from Scots English.

The other oddball construction is called "positive anymore". Normally you use the term "any more or "anymore" in a negative sense:
"I don't go to that bar any more since they raised their drink prices."
But the "positive anymore" construction is:
"Since the theater raised ticket prices to $11, I just stay in and watch Netflix anymore."

Supposedly that has its roots in Irish or Scots-Irish English. It's common in rural PA outside Philadelphia and its immediate suburbs, west into Amish country, and down to Baltimore.
