"...an MSP claimed the term was an acronmy for Non Educated Delinquent and should not be used by ministers. Unfortunately, like most supposed acronymic etymologies, this one is false. "Ned" is simply one of the many terms for delinquent youths that use a shortened form of a common male forename (in this case Edward); other examples are "Teds" and "Kevs"
Hope this finally settles the discussion...or re-opens a can of worms.

It's because they are looking at where they have been rather than where they are going.....as there is nothing down for them.
It's also to do with the fact that the emergency exits are nearly always located at the back......so that they have a means of escape handy....hence NED stands for.......near emergency door
