I Might Could
You would find this sounds weird, but this double modal is used in the south. It means a person might be down to doing things in the future. Let’s pretend someone asked you, “Are you going to work on the car later? “You should still answer by saying, “I Might Could.” As you may have worked out by now, Southern slang involves reducing the number of terms you need in the answer. It’s also a shorter way to say to them, “I’m not sure, but I might decide to do it later.”

It’s Blowin’ Up A Storm
We’ve spoken a lot about metaphors, but this one really means what it means. You’re using this term in the south to speak about the scent, sound, and feel of an incoming hurricane. You could note that the temperature had fallen or that the wind was heavy all of a sudden. It often includes the smell of thunder, as well as the sight of lightning. If you ask us, we wouldn’t mind other people using the word in the same way!
