... so how unbearably stanky are yer toots?
Sometimes it's meant like "I'm about to ask what might sound like a dumb question, but I'm genuinely asking, so please take me seriously."

My brother-in-law says the dishes "need washed" and it's nails on a goddamn chalkboard every time I hear it.
But why use such an awkward construction? Why not "please handle this" or "please take care of this"? Or even "please take the necessary steps to address this"? "Please do the needful" is saying Please [VERB] the [ADJECTIVE]. But the correct construction is to verb a noun. So you need a noun (e.g., "this") to act on.
And additionally, "needful" is an adjective, and rarely ever used anyway. For example, you could probably describe a homeless person as "needful", but it sounds awkward, and most people would say "needy" or "in need."
This looks really interesting!
