Bogan or not

June 20 2012

The word 'bogan' has just been added to the Oxford dictionary, it was already in the Macquarie. Whilst most people deny being bogans we all seem to have a little touch of boganism. What's your bogan secret.

    through exstensive research i have found that 'boganism' is a virus that has been running through the veins of man kind since the dawn of man itself. there are many shapes and forms of bogans, this can been seen throughout the history books.Australia is the last known residence the bogan has hit, thus becoming the mordern day bogan.

    My DB's from high school count? Yes I still wear them ;-) I wear flannos on occasion ( with a sexy cami of course) Bogan and proud sticker on car - of course!! black jeans - of course!!! Off to celebrate what would have been Bon Scott's 66th birthday this weekend? Of course!!! Do my kids know who Bon Scott is - of course!! As for the muscle cars - yeah had my fully sick maaaattteee torana up until last year :-(( and many more muscle cars in the past...... I like to think of myself as a more " refined bogan" now though. Would love to find a male refined bogan to bogan retire riding bogan bikes listening to bogan music smoking like a bogan on the porch...... Hahhahahahahahah

    Quoting 'woody_pusscat' Woohoo - Woody and I are bogans! We live in Rockingham and yes, I have a Bogan and Proud sticker on my car! LOL   Pusscat xxx COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT   Strong winds and heavy rain hit Rockingham early yesterday afternoon.Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, flannies soaked, woollen trackies sagging, muttering 'Faaackinell'.Damaging winds devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of damage.Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.The Sound Telegraph reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Read St.One resident - Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Skye-Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said 'It was such a shock, my little daughter Chardonnay-Mercedes came running in to my bedroom crying. My youngest two Joachim and River slept through it all.' The wind smashed down the front door and out the back – it was amazing, the place has never been so clean!”Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, Jewellery from Kmart and Bone China from Big W.HOW CAN YOU HELP?This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include: flannelette Shirts, tight blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue & white) white sport socks, Ugg boots, hoodies and any other items usually sold in Priceline or The Reject Shop.Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.Donations of $25.00 will be taken to buy a packet of Winny blue 25s and a lighter and cans of Jim Bean to calm the nerves of those affected.

Am I ever gonna see your face again (no way, get fucked, fuck off) Am I ever gonna see your face again (no way, get fucked, fuck off)Am I ever gonna see your face again (no way, get fucked, fuck off)Am I ever gonna see your face again (no way, get fucked, fuck off) Am I ever gonna see your face again (no way, get fucked, fuck off)Embrace your inner bogan, I like to bring mine out for special occasions

    Quoting 'beep68' Unfortunately for the good folk who didn't attend an APS (Associated Public School, in Victoria) school back in the mid-80s, the word was coined in reference to them! Not about money, not about where you lived (then or now), not about what kind of car you're parents drove...all about where you went to school!!! Kids are such shits aren't they?!? Uppity little turds... Yes i do believe the term has always had close ties to the working class in Victoria, and the original intent and purpose of the word remains up until this day remains subjective.From what i could find the actual word “bogan” has only been in mainstream circulation for around 20 years or so. According to most sources though the evidence points to the existence of bogans past. It is widely believed that the majority of the members in the first fleet to land in Australia were actually bogan prisoners from the United Kingdom and immigrants from the Americas.Therefore, it appears that Australia was actually established by criminally insane bogans who enjoyed drinking, fighting and shooting. The perception of what actually constitutes a bogan has been shaped over the years primarily by the media.A bogan Apparently exhibits the following traits according to popular consensus ;A pronounced lack of dress sense in social situations. (bit vague could be anyone,anywhere anytime) A lack of personal hygiene.( well not anyone know then unless there is sucha thing as clean Bogans?)Distinct vocabulary.(again a vague attribute, could be anyone each state has its own lingo for crying out loud)A particular choice in motor vehicle,usually Holden or Ford( yep well about 50% of Australians could be included right there)Choice in music either metal or pub rock. (aw c'mon really? my mum listens to it)Employment status a) not employed or b) a tradesman/labourer in a fluorescent vest or polo shirt.( okay so this one may have something to it)All-in-all the bogan is seen as a top bloke/sheila, by his/her mates or girlfriends, Yet is a menace to the rest of society.......A Bogan Australian, a Kiwi and South African are in a bar one night having a beer.All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces."In Seth Efrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice," he says.The Kiwi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces."Wull mate, in Noo Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out the same glass either," he says.The Bogan Aussie, cool as a Koala, picks up his VB beer and drinks it, throws his glass in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South African and the Kiwi. He turns to the astonished barman and says,"In Strailya mate, we have so many bloody South Africans and Kiwis that we don't need to drink with the same ones twice."

    This tv show i watched the other nite, was in Swansee UK, obviously a working class area... the comedian was giving shit to the locals, "If your TV is too big for your loungeroom, then you are ... "Working Class" If you can afford a good tv but not a good house you are ..."working class" " The audience was pissing themselves. I honestly thought he was going to come out with the term Bogan but all he said was working class, didnt have the same impact!I have written on these posts before about bogans, I am a bogan and proud of it! I even have the stubby holder with that printed on it. I also live in Rockingham, sorry Hesione, Rocko is the bogan capital, it was on today tonight. Most people in rockingham work FIFO with the mining boom, so the new term is CUBS cashed up bogans, he with the most toys wins ;P

    GavmacWhats the alternative lyrics to Angels??? I thought it was how Boobalicious sang it!!!!Ms Velvet Blue... love ya, ya mole xxxThere is one place worse than Rockingham, apart from Mandurah lol, that Rocko guys and girls very rarely visit yet its only 10 mins away.... Medina... HOWEVER outstanding 419ers include a young Bon Scott (my exs nan used to point out he was a very naughty boy) Megan Gale, and Liam Bartlett! Not bad for a small town built for the workers of BP Kwinana oil refinery.I disagree with the poor taste jibes and the gun totting rednecks stereotyping. Bogans are non superficial, they like what they like, and wont like something just because you like it. Except TVs, cos if you get a bigger one, I'll get a bigger one, but then again I like TV to begin with!! Like how I'm not going to start drinking wine just because you do, because I hate it, I prefer Jacks or a beer, yet that gives me a bogan tag, but you know what? I dont care!!!! HahahahaBogan and proud of itBoganna xxx

    .....live in housing department areas where the centrelink queue is long and the jobsearch line is short. Every second person is a smoker despite the fact that they cant affort it. Morbid obesity is common. Overweight is the new slim.Kmart is haute couture. McDonalds is haute cuisine.Women never have natural hair colour.Men sport a rats tail at the back of their head.They can only name some of the fruit and a few of the vegetables in the supermarket.Make me wonder........
