The stereotypical ned is someone who:
* wears particular clothing, such as:
o Brand name athletic clothing and shoes. Stereotypically, this might include white trainers and tracksuits.
o Fake designer clothing and accessories, in particular the distinctive tartan of Burberry, similar to (and perhaps derived from) the casuals of football supporters.
o "Bling": that is, gaudy gold or platinum jewellery ? in particular conspicuous earrings and trinkets on chains for women, and gold sovereign rings for men.
o Sports caps and hoodies. Often both are worn, the hood pulled up over the baseball cap, thus obscuring the wearer's face.
o Sports or jogging trousers, often tucked into white sports socks. These are also referred to as "tracky Bs", "trackies" or "tracky bottoms".
* if female, wears thickly applied make-up, makes heavy use of fake tan, and has a hairstyle in which the hair is pulled back into a tight bun or ponytail (called a "Croydon facelift" [7] or "council-house facelift"), and stilettos.
* is associated with crass, drunken behaviour and minor criminal activities. This includes unprovoked attacks on members of the public (see happy slapping), vandalism, verbal abuse, and drug abuse. This delinquency may be carried out under the influence of cheap alcohol, often after the pubs have closed.
* lives on housing estates and other low-income neighbourhoods, often supported by the "dole" [8] (unemployment benefit).
* owns a tastelessly modified car, usually with a basic original specification, but decorated in a gaudy style. The Vauxhall Nova is one of the many small hatchbacks associated with this stereotype.[8]
* takes part in under-aged drinking and sex (and, consequently, is associated with teen pregnancy).[8]
* congregates and loiters in areas such as shopping centres [3] and fast food restaurants [4].
* pronounces English in a style that is seen to be unsophisticated and characterised by slack diction ? for example, the pronunciation of "thing" as "fing". [5]
