They're not Texan, by any means - no one down here talks like that

Xenalyte, I don't know about that!

People up in this neck of the woods talk pretty funny sometimes. And Rather has to get those sayings somewhere!

Example: My wife and our neighbor were talking (you know, gossiping) about a mutual acquaintance. The neighbor told my wife "You know you've got to just love her, because she is so damn hard to like."

You're in East Texas, yes? I will allow as how people east of Houston do talk differently (and more colorfully) than we do.
