Really? Well it hasn't made it my way. I haven't even heard of this.

As far as I know it's a Southern thing. I had a friend in HS who would say 'fitting to' in lieu of 'going to' or 'I'd like to' so I don't think this is new, but more of a thing that has been held in regional dialects (where it belongs).

It's "Fixing To", as in I'm fixing to ____________

go to the store
make a lovely post
slather myself in mayo and watch anime
etc

Oh I've heard that too but this guy said it as "fittin ta'" hence the "Finna" as a bizarre contraction.


Edit: Apparently it is evolved from 'fixing to'

Perhaps it is YOU who is the gently caress?
