ned
Short for Edward
Ned is not a common English word.
It appears occasionally as British slang for a young hooligan or petty criminal, particularly in Scottish usage: A group of neds were causing trouble outside the pub.
The term carries connotations of antisocial behavior and working-class youth culture. (Capitalized Ned is a given name.)
