"fixin'" - Getting ready to do something. As in, "I'm fixin' to get up offa this porch an' go feed the chickens."
"direckly" = "directly" - now, or soon, or maybe never. As in, "I'll be over thar direckly." Which means, you'll see me when you see me, bitch. God willin' & the crick don' rise.
"come-up" = stray. As in, "He warz the best dog I ever'n had, even if he was just a come-up dog." I have to admit I never heard this before I moved to SC but everybody here calls strays "come-up" animals. Apparently a lot of strays "come up out'n the swamp."
"Howzurmomnem" - "How's your Mom and them?" = "How's your Mom & all your relatives/friends/people??"
