Yet another handy phrase. Use it three times in conversation today, and once on your LJ.
"Framing for" something sounds like it means the same as "fixing to" do something. For example at Atlanta I was one of a planeload of people informed by an airline stewardess that the plane had been refuelled and we were "fixin' to leave for N'Awlins" in a few minutes.
"Fixin'" doesn't have the intransitive usage, though.
