I Might Could
This odd-sounding double modal is how Southerners express their lack of commitment to something. For example, if someone that you are not particularly fond of had to ask you, “Will you be coming to my birthday party?”, you might respond with, “I might could!” This is a far briefer way of saying that you may do something, if you feel like it. Every culture needs a way of saying “maybe”, and “I might could” is quite a humorous one, don’t you think?

It’s Blowin’ Up A Storm
Storms are a part of almost every part of the world, unless you happen to live in a place that is blessed with exceptionally fair weather. When Southerners sense that a storm is approaching, they might say that, “it’s blowin’ up a storm”. This could be said when heavy, dark clouds are swarming the sky, or the wind begins blowing alarmingly hard, or heavy rain suddenly starts pouring. The storms in the United States can range from a loud but relatively harmless thunderstorm, to devastating tornadoes and hurricanes.
