I Might Could
You might think that it sounds odd, but in the south, this double modal is used. It means that there may be something a person can do in the future. Let us pretend you were asked by somebody, “Are you going to work on the car later?” You can always respond by saying, “I might could.” Southern slang involves cutting down the number of words you need in the answer, as you might have figured out by now. This is just a shorter way to say something to someone, “I’m not sure but I might decide to do it later.”

It’s Blowin’ Up A Storm
We’ve talked about metaphors a lot, but this one means what it means to look like. You use this phrase in the South to talk about the smell, look, and feel of a storm approaching. You may notice that the temperature has dropped, or you have suddenly felt a strong breeze. This also includes the rain scent, as well as the sight of lightning. We really wouldn’t mind other people using this phrase in the same way if you ask us!
