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 âIâve been laffingâ and âIze a right soton Worzel ize isâ. 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.

Worzel 1: âAndy, Ize canât stop laffin todayâ
Worzel 2: âYou iz as happy as larry today, letâs get home and tend to the cattle me babbaâ.
