    Not really. But "fixing to stop" does!

      If you insist on posting claptrap like this, I’m going to stop replying altogether. Step it up, Professor. Grrrrrr.

    not when it's sung by Aimee Mann in this song - - "Wise Up"


    " . . . it's not going to stop
            . . . it's not going to stop
                 . . . it's not going to stop
                            til you wise up"

    another song I adore

    Yes it does.  I just stopped eating sugar free candy about 5 days ago, it wasn't helping me.
