It can also be used as a term of preparation (fixin’ lunch, dinner etc.) It can be used by parents as a veiled threat against misbehaving youngsters (“I’ll fix your little red wagon” – even if said child doesn’t own a red wagon).

Fixing a lunch implies that it isn’t going anywhere.

THE look. The MOM look.
