The structure is a colloquial shortening of "fixings," dropping the "g" to create a more relaxed, Southern sounding noun. It is used to describe side items, toppings, or condiments served with a main dish, such as lettuce, tomato, onion on a burger, or gravy, biscuits, and coleslaw with fried chicken. People typically say "with all the fixins" when describing a hearty or fully loaded meal. The term originated in American Southern and regional dialects during the 19th century, later spreading into mainstream casual English, especially in barbecue, sandwich, and comfort food contexts.
