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.
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!"
