Finally gonna is already a slang shortening of "I am finally going to...". Or even better, "I will finally...".
These terms used to bother me too, until I just full-on embraced them. Now I use them both ironically, and unironically, just never at work. They're really good for text messaging because of their brevity. They combine multiple words into a single short word.
That's what I mean gonna is already shortened
Use them ironically with someone close to you. They're quite contagious. They will rapidly grow on you until you find yourself using them unironically too. Just don't use them in situations where professionalism is expected, or clarity is important.
But why would I do that?
For funsies. Or because it will help you appreciate the words instead of resenting them. That's why I did it. It's just a suggestion though. You know what works for you.
Ah so instead of disliking something I'm just going to double think my way into liking it
Perhaps.
