I came here to say essentially the same thing. It’s hillbilly code-switching; if you speak without an accent most of the time, but then meet someone who speaks that way, you can put the accent “back on” again and immediately gain a massive boost to your charisma stat when you need it.
I do it all the time at work. No accent until I’m providing care for someone with a southern accent, then bam! “Well, ah doan know whai inneewon wooden lissen to me!”
YEP. Same. It’s always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who’s never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south
