Some of the people living up in the hills are of course mentally limited (this guy obviously had a belt missing a few loops) but in fact these people are mostly direct descendants from early English and Scottish settlers who pioneered that region. Their family heritages are pretty much intact and those folks have lived in a fairly primitive social way for centuries. They isolated themselves and lived up in the far eastern Kentucky mountains unchanged in culture from much of their original English and Scots ancestors.
People up there use Middle English words everyday. It's not like Deliverance. These folks are quite intelligent, cunning, and not someone you would wisely cross.
