Having grown up around several of my Appalachian relatives, and having lived for 12 years at the foot of the Appalachians, I can tell you what is going on.

These folks know that  many of the things they say are grammatically incorrect.  But, they use the incorrect wording for Emphasis, with a bit of humor thrown in.   

For instance, "Ain't no way. Never gonna happen."

Or, "Where the heck is she at?"

Or, " I am stumpified by this problem."

Or,   "Don't never do that!"

Larry the Cable Guy, whom I can't stand, speaks like a normal person when he is not performing.  But, just listen to his Hillbilly sayings when he is on stage or in movies.
