Ned 

OK Lets clear this up PLEASE! OK most of you have it right except the origin of the word, A NED (in it's modern usage) is a term used to describe The Scots version of the CHAV or Townie, Expensively dressed Tramps in other words with absolutely No Manners, no etiquette (Look it up in a 'Dik shun nerry', Neds) no social grace, a disgrace to their families and communities, Foul Mouthed Godless creatures who contribute Nothing to society except derision and more bastard children like themselves, in other words a sad reflection on the breakdown of Family Life and behavior.

Another Thing.... People who say NED stands for Non-Educated Delinquent , are talking out of their Anus holes, There is NO such Grammatical term in the English Language, it would be UN-Educated!! as indeed many posters on this site tend to be unfortunately.

Ned = A young Hooligan with no clue about the consequences of their actions has been used for many years to describe any type of miscreant

A ned is in no way an acronym for 'non-educated delinquient' as so many people have stated on this site considering the correct grammatical term would be UN-educated delinquient. This myth was popularised incorrectly by MSP Rosie Kane who attempted to have the word banned stating that it was hurtful to those it was lablelling, implying that they were non-educated.
Ironically in this stunning grammatical error, Kane has shown a true example of an UNeducated urn of phrase.

what is more likely is the term came from the 1950s' 'teddy boy' gangs who dressed in edwardian style clothing altough this is largely disputed as well.

Rosie Kane - They are being labled as non-educated delinquients thats not right

anyone who stayed in school after they were 6 - i think you mean uneducated now get back to your overpriced, falling down excuse of a parliment and attempt to give an actual shit about scotland

NED 

Acronym for Non Educated Delinquent. Usually boys age 12-20 that hang around in "teams" or gangs. Often get into trouble with the law, usually for underage drug use, drunkenness, gang fighting, or sometimes petty theft. NEDS often fight other teams of NEDS, using weapons such as knives, bats, crow bars, glass bottles, brass knuckles, really anything that will do damage that is inexpensive. These gang fights are fought on bridges, alleyways, or other paved areas. During most fights, a few members will be significantly injured, but most will walk away with bruises, black eyes, small cuts. Nowadays, NEDS usually wear sports clothes, such as track suits, trainers, sports caps turned to odd angles, and usually fake jewelry. Their fashion has changed greatly in the last couple of decades. During the 70's many NEDS wore leather/jean jackets/long coats, or usually a jacket that would provide some protection against stabbings, with a tucked in shirt underneath the jacket. They would often wear Doc Marten long boots, and denim jeans. NEDS have become more and more stupid in the way they act, dress and live over the years. NEDS are now the mockery of Glasgow, and Scottish cities. They are now also known to claim government welfare, and suck off of society. They used to just be groups of tough guys, that would fight each other. Now they contribute to many problems that Scotland faces today, including a cycle of dependency of government assistance, underage pregnancy, and poverty.

Why do NEDS wear fucking track suits now? -Guy 1
I don't fucking know, they look like a big bunch a cunts, and they won't last a minute against a fucking blade. -Guy 2
