Worzel or on the off chance spelt Wurzel is a popular slang term used on the South Coast to describe people from the West Country farming community of Southampton. The residents speak with an extremely strong rustic west country accent and use phrases like “I’ve been laffing” and “Ize a right soton Worzel ize is”. Most Worzels struggle to form sentences.

Southampton people or Worzels are yokel and derive from farming communities, their past times consist of county fairs, vegetable shows and horse trading. The most popular sport in the Hampshire village of Southampton is softball and closely followed by Squash.
