neg
adj.

Acronym for North End Gipsy. Used to describe the children who lived in the council estate on the north end of town . They stank and often wore the same parka coat for their entire school life. There was one notorious family of Negs whos name was luckily 'Negus' which starts with Neg.

Other children could identify the chair used by Negs (when entering a class-room the Neg had vacated) because it stank of poor people. These chairs were either isolated or sat upon by an unfortunate child who would be sniggered at through out the lesson and only later told it was because they had the NEG Chair. Many towns have a North End Gip estate because it is predominantly down wind.

(ed: please remember ODPS does not necessarily agree with the sentiments presented in certain definitions. This entry demonstrates how cruel kids can be!)
