1.The term 'Zed' was first introduced by the popular film 'Shaun of the Dead' when the main characters decided it was against good taste to call the people outside 'Zombies'. A 'Zed' (Another term for Zombie), is usually a mass of dead flesh reanimated into this world to eat the flesh and/or brains of the living. The problem is solved via the exploding of the 'Zed's head and/or brains through means of an axe, gun, explosive, cosmic ray-beam, or whatever have you. This seems solution seems to fit in well with the living nicely. The Zed's (Or Zombies) have not voiced their opinion on the matter. 2. A slang term in reference of the living dead used by rp (roleplay) characters. Usually used when fearing the word 'Zombie', or they are too lazy to say or spell said word. 3. A brainless or brain-dead person incapable of rational thought. 4. A brain-dead zombie. 5. The British/Irish/Bloody Stupid Canadian way of saying the letter 'Z', preferring to pronounce it 'Zed' instead of 'Zee'.
