woolyback

labour drafted into Liverpool Docks during the dockers strike, usualy came from smaller towns outside the city. They had to carry the woollen bales on their backs because they did not have the correct equipment for unloading ships.

It is generaly considered a form of insult by people from liverpool although most dont know what it means or where it comes from

"im a fucktard scouser, i dunno wat it means but your a fukin woolyback"
