Are you sayin its fixin' to come a gulley washer? Fixin's a great word, covers a lot of situations. I'm fixin' supper. I'm fixin' to go to the store.

I grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. I went to a party when I was about 20 or so. This gal wonders into the conversation several of us were in. So a few minutes later she says, "Don't I know you from 'summers'". So I just stared a moment trying to think if I had ever been to any place called 'summers'. Drawing a blank I said Huh. So she says again, "Don't I know you from 'summers'". Then it dawned on me that she was saying "Don't I know you from somewheres?". Still not quite correct English but at least I figured out what she meant. And no I didn't know her from 'summers' or 'somewheres' either.
