Might Could

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Instead of using simply "might" or "could", characters of the Homestar Runner universe, particularly Homestar Runner himself, tend to sometimes say might could instead. Such usages of "non-standard" double modals are common in the vernacular of the Southern United States, including Georgia, where The Brothers Chaps live.

Appearances

• Email modeling — An ad for Homely Boy Brand Huge Tube Socks states that "You might could sleep in one!"
• A Death Defying Decemberween — Homestar says that he "might could die" after sledding down the Steep Deep.
• Best Caper Ever — Homestar exclaims "I just can't stop wondering what I maybe might could be should be doing today!"
• Email too cool — Senor Cardgage reveals his "Family Might/Could" during his character video.

Variation

• Decemberweenvent Calendar — Another double modal “used to could” appears.
