I don't know how they feel about it over there, but I know as a Texan, it absolutely grates on my last nerve when a tourist tries to imitate a Hollywood Texas accent (how they THINK we talk). ESPECIALLY if they are trying to dress "Texan", but end up looking ridiculous. By far the worst: a tourist greeting me with "Howdy, pardner!" I'm as Texan as they get, but I DON'T say, "Howdy, pardner!" The saying "When in Rome..." only goes so far....

Guvnah is actually a term of respect, indicating that the person you are talking to is a little higher than you are on the social scale, but close enough that you can still be friendly.
Guvnah is actually the Cockney pronounciation of Governor.
