    Fixing

    A staple Texas word, and maybe elsewhere, especially among anglos, both educated and under-schooled, as in:
    "I'm fixing to put my boot where the sun don't shine." or
    "I'm fixing to go to the store, shall I pick up a bottle of wine?"

    Of course, we wouldn't think of using the word up here in Oklahoma.
