Sure, abusing Texans is fun, but abusing Cumbrians is even better.

You wouldn't get this sort of verbose exchange if Star Trek was exclusively crewed by Cumbrians. It would be more like the following:

Picard: counsellor, you are looking troubled. Is that pesky Romulan ambassador trying to mind rape you?

Counsellor: baaah baaaaahhh baaahhhh baahhh baaahh

Picard: counsellor, have you brushed your fleece a different way? you look ravishing

Counsellor: baaaahh baah baaah

Picard: ooh, you sexy little ovoid, come here right now

Counsellor: bahh baaaaaah baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

The truth is out there. Come to Carlisle, where men are real men (if hairy, inbred and liking folk music), women are completely bored off their heads on a Saturday night and the sheep live in terror.
