As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin "fixin" are trying to sound important.

I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it's seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem "important" is banana sandwiches to me.

I wouldn't say it's trying to sound important as much as it is trying to sound serious / no bullshit tone: "I'm fixin' to whop yo ass", or as a response to your boss bitching at you to do something: "yeah yeah I'm fixin' to"
