>>>It is one of the most irritating things in the world to an outsider,
right up there with "I'm fixin' to do something here.">>>

In North Carolina we understand perfectly what y'all down there in Texas
mean when you'ins are fixin' to do something. Why, I'm fixin' to carry
my daughter to the store this evening after I get home. We might could
wait till tomorrow if we had to, but that's a whole nother topic for
discussion!!

And I used to could leave my front door unlocked too!
