Neds, Scotland's tracksuit-wearing youths who are often blamed for anti-social behaviour, have achieved a degree of respectability.
The word is one of 1,500 new additions to the Collins English Dictionary.
The official definition is that ned is a derogatory term for "a young working-class male who dresses in casual sports clothes". It stands for Non Educated Delinquent.
The dictionary also includes the adjectives "neddy" or "neddish" and "nedette", a ned's female counterpart.
Other Scottish slang added to reflect the latest trends in language and culture include "chib", which means "to stab or slash with a sharp weapon", and "a square go", defined as "a fair fight between two individuals".
The words "chav", a UK-wide word conveying a similar phenomenon as ned, is also included in the Collins dictionary. Chav allegedly stands for “Council House And Violent”.
