I Might Could
This confusing Southern saying might not make much sense out of context, but if you ever had to use it properly, it would be incredibly effective. This saying is how Southerners respond to a question that they are unsure how to answer, or if they do not want to do something without being too committed to the response. For example, if your roommate asked you if you will do the dishes tonight, you might respond by saying “I might could” if you didn’t particularly feel like doing the chore.

It’s Blowin’ Up A Storm
Some Southern states are particularly severe weather conditions and even natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes! Southerners have then appropriately invented various sayings to warn each other of incoming storms, such as “it’s blowin’ up a storm.” A Southerner might use this expression if the sky started darkening and the wind began intensifying. There is nothing funny about this expression, as the United States is a country that has been hit by a terrifying variety of tragic and highly destructive natural disasters.
