Ned Or Chav?

[Ixistant]

OK. This may only apply to people in the UK but people who've been here may be able to answer it.

Now, they have many names all over the world: hoodlum
delinquent
angry youth

But in the UK there are 2 words that people use to describe them. Ned and Chav. Now, the big question is, are they Neds or Chavs?

[Asthaloth]

the dictionary is wrong, they are terms created some years ago, Ned is of scottish origin, Chav of english.
my memory is acting up so i forget the word.
edit: buh, abbreviation.

Chav: Council House And Violent.

NED: None Educated Delinquent. (scottish origin)

But they still hean people who usually wear Burberry clothes and hang out on street corners, drinking and shouting loudly. And it's Non-Educated Delinquent.

[Asthaloth]

yeah that too
(fake) Burberry isnt a must.

chav. i've never heard the word ned before (in that context). there's also charvers, similar word to chav, means the same.

I really don't see the discussion going anywhere good since the mention of sterotypes are starting to rear their ugly heads.

Locked.
