Woolyback 

Refers to someone living or originating from the following, surrounding places of Liverpool;
-Widnes
-St Helens
-Warrington
-Runcorn

These towns surround the outskirts of Liverpool, like Speke or Prescot for example. And it is found that many wools are 'plastic/plazzy scousers' and they put on fake scouse accents.
Wool; 'Haha annorr, was so funneh, orrrr ma godd'
Scouser; 'Ha, a-know larrr, funny as f*ck weren't it our kid'

- Woolybacks tend to drag out the vowel sound.

*Desperate Scousewives - JAIDEN is the biggest 'wool' so pay attention to his awful accent*

woolyback 

A person who lives in the rural or semi-rural area directly adjacent to a metropolitan borough, alluding to the belief that such people must be a genetic throwback to want to live outside the bustling city and as such are likely to have a cro-magnon style hairy back.

Origin : probably Liverpool as that’s where I heard it first, with a local referring to anybody from Cheshire as a ‘woolyback’.
