It's no different anywhere. I have junkies that will stab you with infected needles here. Everywhere has gang types and juvenile delinquents...

It's about as essential to know an uber cool slang name for them as to know what brand of underwear they prefer...

No offence but these "NEDS" just appear to be your average drunken adolescent. If we were to include every term there was that encompasses these people the encyclopedia would be fifty thousand pages long.
There really doesn't appear to be anything different about these liquored up kids and the kids i grew up with in Canada (aside from the fact that the scottish ones have some weird fascination with adidas track pants people wore in grade seven)

but whatever. keep it in the encyclopedia if you want. at least i learned something from it.

Because i'm sure you know all about exactly what hoodlums are like everywhere else... We have had plenty of beatings to death by teenage girls here as well as teenage boys, but they don't have a fancy name like NEDS so they couldn't possibly be as bad. Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet ?

the term ned isn't 'uber cool slang name', it's in extremely common usage in Scotland and the UK, in the same way everyone knows what Junkie means. try doing a search on Google News for 'neds':
http://news.google.com/news?num=50&q=neds

they are also a definite risk hazard while exploring in this country. I don't know what the situation is like elsewhere.

I think turbozutek got the answer to his question (although I'm still curious to know who deleted it), and nothing new is being added by your needlessly belittling what maybe isn't the most vital entry in the Encyclopedia. there's a lot worse though: brown fish, Jestering (!), ninjutsu, tabi etc. hey folks, guess which one of these was written by Jester

A neds is no fucking different from any other hoodlum. Call them diddle-dee-doos and it's still the same shit, just a different pile, though for some reason some people feel the name is whats important...

A Tabi is a specialized footwear, which, many people ask about, considering there have been about half a dozen threads about them I'd have to say it's a little more relevant than all those piles of "what is a ned?" and "thank you, being able to realize a bunch of drunken punks should be called neds saved me!" threads.... Tabi are quite a helpful piece of equipment for certain explorations. I'm not the only explorer that uses them...

i think you missed the point of my post, so i'll reiterate it for you:
nothing new is being added by your needlessly belittling what maybe isn't the most vital entry in the Encyclopedia

notice i don't post anything about how relevant or otherwise what footwear you choose to use while exploring is? because there'd be no point - you've added something to the encyclopedia, it's within the rules, you and at least 6 other people in North America consider it relevant - that's fine with me. just like it's also fine with me if turbozutek posts something relevant to UE in Scotland.

Jester,

I'm not being funny and don't take this is an insult, but:

1. You have looked at maybe four Scottish locations tops - a couple of pictures from each on average.

2. You have admitted you don't find the Encyclopedia to be of any value and you would delete prolly 60% of it if you had your way.

Given this - why the fuss ?? About something you don't really use ???

If you were looking through the Scottish locations and saw the word 'Ned' you might go look it up - and be glad it's there!?

But you don't and you haven't.... So... Why are we all arguing about who has the best / most violent hoodlums world wide ?

I asked a question and it got answered, this thread is now about the definition of Neds and has nothing to do with my original question / issue.

Prolly locky lock time ?

Chris...

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

So lock it already.

A flashlight is a torch is a beacon is a lumianary.

A tabi is a boot is a shoe is a piece of sturdy clothing.

This could go on and on.

People have spoken out for and against... more for than against.

Lock it.

But I know what all these things mean. I didn't know what a Ned was whenever I saw it before. Perhaps it is Scottish slang, but I don't know Scottish slang, therefore I don't know what the word means.

Okay, so we all know what a "NED" is. Wonderful.

Should I create entries on the Folk Nation, People Nation, Crips, Bloods, Five Percenters, Gangster Disciples, Almighty Latin King Nation, 18th Street, MS 13, and the other major gangs in North America? Are examples of their graffitti required, so you can tell exactly who "claims" that abandoned building you're trying to inf? How about information on the various sets in the Twin Cities area? A chart explaining the complex and ever-evolving relationship between the top couple hundred rap artists and various gangs? The Norteno versus Suremos thing? What crab and slob mean? Is it vitally important that people from Canada, for example, or Finland, know the difference between a 612 Crip and a Shotgun Crip, or where their terrotories (in south-central Minneapolis) are? Or the difference between a member of the Aryan Brotherhood and a run-of-the-mill skinhead? Is it appropriate to include the Shots Paul Posse, a group of teenage punks from a local high school loosely aligned with the local Gangster Disciples? Do we all need to know what "flickas" are? What "CK, BK, LKK, GDK" mean? Is any of this really even remotely appropriate on a UE forum?

What next, definitions of "lager lout" and "footy hooligan"?

You have to draw a line somewhere with this kind of crap.

Has anyone ASKED for these ? Asked you for instance who the People Nation are ?

I mean - is it something people want to know ? Want to look up ?

No ?

Neds is. And I can now point them to the Enc. :p

If you were getting around 15 PMs each time you mentioned any of the above and asking what any of the above actually WAS then I for one would fully support it's inclusion in the official reference. People want to know and it's relevant

And that, is how you draw the line... And I think we drew it around 10 posts ago. But let's continue to flog a dead horse.. Maybe it'll run still ?

Chris...

PS: I have never seen or been bothered by either a 'footy hooligan' or a 'lager lout' while exploring... And so no, they do not deserve an explanation - setting aside they are plain descriptive English and so entirely obvious.

Ed: God my spelling is awful tonight.

A "hoodlum" is not always a "hoodlum". In one place, you may run into a bunch who are little more than upper middle class punks and are apt to scatter at the first sign of retaliation. Few miles away, you may run into a visually identical bunch who will stick a gun in your face. I get the impression a "Ned" would fall into the second category.
Bottom line; familiarize yourself with the neighborhood beforehand, if at all possible, and be prepared for anything.

Always armed, often stupid - approach with care. Logical reasoning with a NED is best avoided.

Caveman - I have been struggling to sum up for the past few days exactly what you have said here today.

That is EXACTLY the point I am trying to convey.

Nice one! Thanks!
