I was reading a comment someplace that Jensen and Jared are "letting their southern accents slip in" more as the show goes on. I thought this was an odd comment if only because both of them are Texan and the Texas drawl is not southern, not really.
But your comment abut Dean's Blue Collar vocabulary has got me thinking about it on a different level: what if this person heard this tendency in Dean's language and just classified it as "Southern". You know, using the popular trope that "southern accent = stupid". If that seems a bit harsh, perhaps it's just "southern accent = uneducated". They just didn't have another description to cover the "common man" usage of language.
