"Woollyback" is a term used in Liverpool, England to describe people who come from outside Liverpool, especially those from Lancashire, which is sometimes used pejoratively towards those perceived as
outsiders by Scousers, natives of Liverpool.
The term is believed to have
originally referred to the people who worked in wool factories in towns near Liverpool, such as St Helens, Wigan or Widnes. They would walk to Liverpool carrying the wool on their backs, therefore they became known as Woollybacks, and now the term refers to anyone from
the county of Lancashire.
