  While the the letters are adjacent, I don't think that was a typo. "Finna" is pretty common slang, just a variant of "gonna"

      Short for fixing to, which now that I type it out, it makes less sense than finna

      For further clarity, it's a shortening of "fitting to" just like how "gonna" is a shortening of "going to." As BremboTheFourth said, the two are synonymous.

        While you’re on the right track, it’s fixing to, which to be honest doesn’t make any sense

      I get my American slang through Hollywood and Internet, so the curriculum may not be entirely comprehensive at times.
