The reflexive pronoun

I've noticed something that I do and others do. It is to use an objective pronoun redundantly and often with the verb to "get".

I'm going to get me a piece a' pie. She got herself a fine hairdo.

Is this a reflexive or reciprocal ? It is for sure redundant.

Ya'll link to me and I'll link to you - a good match, I reckon.

I think I'm supposed to be saying I'm in the New South now as opposed to the Deep South but hey, I'm also supposed to say I'm in "the A-T-L" (small shudder!)
