Could be regional but "spunk" in my AO refers to well, errr.... baby batter.

Should I get out of your head now?
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
Here in Texas, it is not uncommon to hear someone preparing to go somewhere say, "Well, I'm fixin' to leave..."
My son, currently in New Zealand, finds that "Y'all" is a huge hit with the Kiwis, as well as an expression that here means to put everything in proper, functioning order for someone: "We'll get you fixed up." That phrase has been adopted as the official motto of the section where he works.
Coming back the other way, when we in the States get something "figured out," the Brits, Aussies and Kiwis get it "sorted out." The expression that Texans locally find the most charming from EnZed is that while we take drinks to the beach in a "cooler" or an "ice chest," the Kiwis use a "chilly bin."
Hmmmm, that latter would make a great Ice Hero name...
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
