I Might Could
You might find that it sounds weird, but in the south, this double modal is used. It implies that there might be anything a person may do in the future. Let’s imagine that someone asks you, “Are you going to work on the car later?” By responding, “I might could,” you can still answer that way. As you might have found out by now, Southern vocabulary means minimizing the number of terms you need in the answer. This is just a shorter way to inform someone, “I’m not sure, but I could decide to do it later.”

It’s Blowin’ Up A Storm
We’ve spoken about metaphors a lot, but this one really means what it means to appear like. You use this term in the South to speak of the scent, sound, and feel of a storm coming. You can note that the temperature has fallen, or you have unexpectedly noticed a heavy breeze. It often contains the rain smell, as well as the glimpse of lightning. We just wouldn’t like other people to use this term in the same manner if you ask us!
