wooly back

a wool is short for the liverpool term wooly back which is a derogatory expression for people from lancashire and cheshire, originating from the early 1900’s when the population of lancashire used to wear a form of sheepskin coat and was considered to be a sheep sh-gger by scousers.

this of course has not changed much, except the lancashire and cheshire fashion sense has got worse
