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

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*

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

Uneducated scousers have a tendancy to call anyone outside of Liverpool a wool or wooly back.

Educated scousers understand that the term derives from textile production during the 19th century in Lancashire, more specifically St.Helens folk.
