  NEET is 100% a made-up internet term.

    It was part of the curriculum in my Geography lessons in primary school 15 years ago, in a non-English speaking country, even though it’s an English acronym.

      Yep. Well known term in the UK and not derogatory.

    NEET is an acronym meaning “not in employment, education, or training,” first used by researchers in the United Kingdom in the 1980s.)

  Yeah, with big derogative connotations from most of the ones using the term. Basically another way to say “bum”, which is explicitly spelled out in some of the other UD entries.

    Neet has a “failure a launch” implication - a NEET has a home, a bum might be crashing on a couch
