Not to sound like a boommer but I really dislike "finna" like how much do you need to shorten a term like finally gonna
It's dialectic -- there's lot's of them in the US, but this one afk belongs to Black American English, and is shortened from "fixin' to." Personally, I think it's cool to see so many variations of English. The language is definitely not static; it is changing all the time!
😲 I thought it was slang for "fixing"!
As in "Fixing to do x, y, z" which in my mind meant "I am preparing to do x, y, z"
Who the hell says “fixing to” over “going to” though? Seems like a small minority group trying to sound more important than they are, idk.
