Jill from Maryville, Missouri, and her 11-year-old son Ryan are wondering about the phrases I have a hankering to do something and I’m fixing to do something. Growing up in East Central Nebraska, Jill heard family and friends use them synonymously. Fixing to indicates being about to do something, while hankering has to do more with desiring to do something. This is part of a complete episode.
