If your referring to aberdeen folk nobody here uses it. You gotta go way further north to hear it. Aberdeen is full of polish people now. It's good because they got rid of all the neds somehow as since they moved here there seems to be less neds
I hate neds and reckon their should be a Ned hunting season.

Imagine what Elmer Fudd would say.
 
Neds are scum, that's about the only description needed. May be referred to as Chavs in certain areas.

Not really, go to Inverness or Edinburgh and you shouldn't be too bad. Now Dundee on the other hand, that's a bit of a different story, five is pronounced as fev for some reason.

No they don't =S

As in Dundonians don't pronounce five as fev, or Edinburgh and Inverness aren't stereotypically proper speakers? At least from a western point of view.:rolleyes:
 
Ned is a derogatory term applied to certain young people in Scotland (similar to the terms chav used in Wales and England, skanger in Ireland, and spide in Northern Ireland). The stereotypical view of a ned is a white adolescent male, of working class background, who wears fake Burberry, who engages in hooliganism, petty criminality, loutish behaviour, underage drinking and smoking or general anti-social behaviour<sup id="_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup>. They are often assumed to be unemployed.
The Collins English Dictionary defines ned as "a derogatory term for a young working-class person who dresses in casual sports clothes"<sup id="_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup>, although this omits the hooligan element.

Stereotype

The stereotypical dress of a ned consists of a baseball cap, nearly always worn at an upwards angle. The baseball cap can be seen as a status symbol or identity marker, with certain brands, such as Burberry or Nike, considered preferable along with the MLB Baseball team the New York Yankees. In September 2004, Burberry stopped making branded baseball caps, possibly due to their close association with neds, ned culture, or English chavs <sup id="_ref-3" class="reference">[4]</sup>. Other items may include a football shirt (often that of a major European club to which the wearer might have no other obvious affiliation) or striped top, and a shell or track suit. Accessories include plain gold earrings, chain necklaces and sovereign rings (which are effectively knuckledusters). Female neds (sometimes known as Sengas) commonly display a variety of jewellery, almost always gold.
Teenage neds are stereotypically associated with underage drinking, smoking and drugs in parks and public places, at any time of day. A sterotypical female ned would be portrayed with a pram, such as Vicky Pollard from the British TV comedy series Little Britain. Typically teenage neds will be seen drinking cheap alcohol, generally large 2 or 3 litre bottles of cider in plastic bottles. Iconically they are associated with Buckfast Tonic Wine, which has nicknames including 'Buckie', 'The Wine', 'Tonic', 'commotion lotion' and 'wreck-the-hoose juice'.
