Instead of using simply "might" or "could", characters of the Homestar Runner universe, namely 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.
