| − | # {{Scotland|pejorative}} A person who is poorly educated and engages in [[hooliganism]], petty criminality or loutish behaviour. (The word has a similar meaning to 'Ned' as used in the West of Scotland). This usage sometimes carries the connotation of youth. The word developed its pejorative meaning by extension from its use in the non-Romany community to describe Romanies. This itself is an example of the reversal of the word's original meaning in Romany, for non-Romany people. It is possible that non-Romany people associated the word with Romany people because of hearing them use it. | + | # {{Scotland|pejorative}} A person who is poorly educated and engages in [[hooliganism]], petty criminality or loutish behaviour.
