Fixin’ To
No, no one is going to repair your microwave when they say they are “fixin’ to”. This is how Southerners express an intense craving or desire for something. For example, a famished person could say, “I’m fixin’ to drive down to KFC and get a few buckets!” Easy enough to understand, but you should keep in mind that the user could be talking about doing something now, or in the future. It can be quite tricky to tell the difference sometimes!

Too Big For Your Britches
Southerners are big on fashion, especially their local styles and brands. While many of the trendier folks will do their best to keep up with the latest trends, there are some clothing items that still get referenced, albeit not in the way that you might think. If a parent had to say that their child thinks that they are “too big for their britches”, they don’t mean that they’ve outgrown their clothes, but rather that they are under the assumption that they are older than they actually are.
