It's a quote, dumbass! Frasier corrects a guy on his grammar (something like the guy says "My mom literally hangs around the house all day") and he says "Oh dear, I have a little problem with people who use words incorrectly. You see, she can't literally hang, unless she's a bat!" whereupon he says "You know what I got a problem with? High and mighty college boys who pick holes in my grammar! That's what I got a problem with!" To which Frasier then quotes that bit, making it obvious he's a) even more of a snob than the guy believes and b) wasn't really listening to him, despite being a shrink.

The fact that you attributed it to "Dr. Frasier Craine" kind of gave that away. But I'll take any opportunity to correct that particular grammar myth (along with the one that says that you can't begin a sentence with a conjunction).
