Another way to say “leave”

Going to / about to — contraction of "fixing to." "I'm finna leave" = "I'm about to leave." Ubiquitous in AAVE and documented as far back as the 1940s, though outside the US it still reads distinctly American.

Chili-infused honey drizzled on pizza, fried chicken, goat cheese, biscuits — everywhere. A 2020s condiment that refuses to leave. Mike's Hot Honey turned a niche into a national category; every pizzeria with a flatbread now carries a squeeze bottle.

Putting bows on everything — hair, shirts, bags, shoes, mugs, iced coffees. The hyper-feminine micro-trend of 2024 that never quite left. Four bows on one outfit isn't excessive; it's a statement. Closely related to coquette and balletcore aesthetics.

A charming regional term with two overlapping uses: in Pennsylvania dialect, dippy eggs are fried eggs cooked over easy — with the yolk left runny for dipping toast into; in British usage, dippy eggs are soft-boiled eggs served in an egg cup, again with a runny yolk perfect for dipping toasted soldiers into.

A full-force Geordie dismissal that pulls no punches. Hadaway and shite tells someone to not just go away, but to go away and talk nonsense somewhere else — it's the Newcastle equivalent of 'get outta here' cranked up to maximum volume.
