Who compiles these lists....??? Obviously they haven't rocked by Rockingham in quite some time.....Rockingham is awesome...No I dont live there..I live 20 min drive down the highway at Mandurah (fast becoming the most expensive place in WA to live !!) but Rockingham is beautiful..gorgeous beaches, lovely foreshore, (the foreshore looking more and more like the St Kilda Cafe Strip in Melbourne), great restaurants cropping up now like Rusticos, some fab pubs like the Swinging Pig ....terrific shopping center, good choice of cinemas, beautifully maintained parks, 30 mins into Perth CBD by train....affordable rents - although houseS are now at the million dollar pice on the foreshore but that was gonna happen.,...and more importantly lovely people..... (and they had a excellent swing club at one point too - shame it closed down) Be damn proud ( Im sure you are Woody and Pusscat) if you live in Rocky who BTW has produced its fair share of famous people (Sam Worthington being one of them) ....cause if Rockingham is the capital of boganism.....what is Moe (in Victoria) capital of ..or Broadmeadows for that matter ?? Bogan by association - yep I sooooooo love my uggies....and AC/DC rule (saw them last concert....AWESOME AS ) !!!

1 - Wearing a beanie in a fucking cold place is not bogan i.e. Melbourne, Canberra or Hobart.2 - Meat pies aren't bogan, they're just tasty, delicious food.3 - Real ugg boots are actually quite expensive.All that aside, the biggest bogan signal is the old southern cross tattoo and/or glamour ute to be displayed at Summernats in Canberra along with signs for 'ladies' to get their 'tits out'.BTW, just saying that the Southern Cross Tattoo is not a deal breaker for me... wink wink. That is all.

for all the boguns from Queensland and Western Australia, Liverpool and Parramatta have been bogun breeding grounds since the early days of colonisation. Yes, there are boguns who know a little about Australia's history. You don't need to be brain dead to be a bogun. Look at Julia Gillard. There's a bogun if I've ever seen one.

...there apears to be some confusion as to it's origins. It seems to me that several decades ago, the word was applied less generally to the lower classes and more specifically to someone of lower class that was full of shit. I always assumed the word evolved from 'bogus'.

According to the Australian Oxford Dictionary , bogan is origin unknown. Apparently the term bogan, first appeared in Tracks Magazine in September 1985 but originated in Melbourne's Eastern and Western suburbs in the 1970's by fans of heavy metal music to describe themselves. Kylie Mole's Bogue Magazine was mentioned in the t.v show The Comedy Company in the late 1980's. So jensman, perhaps you are correct ,bogan may have originated from bogus a fake or menacing object,from the 17th century slang tantrabogus meaning menacingx Hugs H

So many conflicting viewpoints, struggling to work out where I fit in- Drive a V8 Commodore (newish one)- Have a bit of a tendency to be a bit of a tool in the car- Like ACDC and that type of music in general- Dont even own a flanny- Wear shorts all year round- Dont watch footy, used to play (in my younger years)- Dont drink often, but Jim Beam is my prefered drink when I doI think CUB is probably where I am sitting.

As a non-Aussie, I had to look this up as this post confused me greatly. I was told by an Aussie friend that "Bogan" is the Aussie equivalent of my country's "Red neck." Impression: rural, red-white-and-tan, edentulous, gun-toting, confederate flag-bearing, inbred, landlocked folk who wear bigotry and ignorance like suits of armour. The below implies that it's more like "trailer trash" (sans trailer) which is some amalgam of "redneck" and the derogatory "white trash."Urbandictionary definition.A fascinating beast. The majority of the species are hideously repugnant and unintelligent, and yet they manage to breed in ever-increasing numbers and populate an area known as the outer west. It is quite common to find five or six offspring in each family group, often with a different father for each new baby. Their habitat consists of a weatherboard or brick-veneer dwelling and is characterised by an early-model Holden or Ford in the driveway surrounded by a group of males discussing why the carby is stuffed and the results of last night's footy (a primitive gladiator-like spectator sport enjoyed by most bogans). The female of the species, while smaller in stature, is far more loud and aggressive than the male. While the males tend to be very friendly and congregate with other males, the females spend most of their time in supermarkets and shopping malls, using a shrill high-pitched call to discipline their children and contact other females. Males and females rarely interact socially except during breeding season, which is otherwise known as Friday night. During this time, females are allowed to enter the male-dominated area known as "the pub" and display their impressive coloured plumage to a prospective mate. Herein lies an interesting phenomenon. Males will often fight over a particularly attractive female and she will mate with only one male, while some less attractive females have been known to have several partners simultaneously. Ahhhh. The wonders of nature.Chris Franklin, Eric Bana as "Poita" on Fast Forward, most of Campbelltown.

Nice research Powerminxx but the Classic bogan described there is just one of at least three sub-species.Previous posts have touched on the cashed up bogan, which really is just a Classic Bogan with a job in mining and a fancier Holden.A far more interesting species is the Nuevo Bogue. I'll bet there's quite a few here, here's a few tell tale signs to look for:Ed Hardy t-shirtsBling - sunglasses with huge 'prestige' brand names are a favouriteKids named Jaxxson and TaneeshaJetstar trips to Bali (and Bintang t-shirts to prove it)Massive guns on the male (and mini-legs - no time for the bottom half)Living in a McMansion (outer city, huge houses on top of each other)Tribal tattoos on the male and tramp stamps on the femaleLocally produced, foreign label beer (VB is for classics)The Nuevo Bogue also shares many of the same interests as the Classic Bogan they are derived from, including V8 Supercars, ACDC and homophobia. They also dislike political correctness gone mad, intellectuals and of course wastage of their taxpayer dollars.Classic Bogans tend to know they are a bogan, while the Nuevo Bogue may not have a clue.If that's you, sorry if it's a shock.

...especially after their appalling behaviour when a Nissan GTR won at Bathurst. (It was actually an interesting and enjoyable race untill then.) Hypocritically, many younger bogans are now embracing the Subaru WRX (No offence meant MisstressT).

I dont think so. I DID used to wear flanno shirts but that was a work issue. Not being born or raised in Australia I have always struggled with the meaning of "BOGAN" No one has given me an apt desription yet so I may have to check out the dictionary meaning. I thought it may have been the Australian equivalent to the Americanism of Trailor Park Trash but people have assured me that it is more than that. Now I know I am not trailor park trash. Nor am I lower class, working class or any other type of class. In fact I was not even aware of a class structure until moving to Australia in my late 20's. It may be helpful to define the word bogan for those of us who struggle with it.

Each year as the weather warms in south east Australia, bogans prepare to migrate. Through spring they fly to the high country of the Snowy Mountains in southern New South Wales and the Victorian Alps. They have been doing this for thousands of years to escape the harsh summer environment in their winter breeding areas of the Darling Downs in Queensland, western slopes and plains in New South Wales and drier inland regions of Victoria. In autumn they make the return journey. Bogans travel at night and, attracted to lights, can cause problems for floodlit buildings by blocking air-conditioning ducts and setting off alarms. During the day they hide in dark crevices. There are numerous reports of large groups of bogans causing inconvenience to humans. Oh, that's Bogons Nat ;)
