I always thought bogans lived in Broady, got around in a flanny shirt (winter wardrobe), white t-shirt, stonewash jeans, moccies or ugg boots and had mullets. Yeah, the Torana sounds right, though. Oh, and the pack of Winnie Blues rolled up in the sleeve of their t-shirts.

But I do know about Campbelltown. Bogans everwhere! What makes a bogan? It's not the way they dress, it's an attitude, a mindset. And also it's what they were brought up to. Bogans aren't bad people but the behavior of some seems to label them all.

You need a southern cross tattoo, and a shirt that manages to explain how close-minded you are. I prefer either "F&*^ off we're full" or "Born here, not flown here". . For men, it appears the current attraction is a rat's tail (oh yes... they are coming back!) but not a central one, it needs to be offset just behind your ear. . If you have dressed appropriately you may now be able to enter a bogan group. Look for them around pool tables or a pile of empty Jim Bean cans. But be careful... you need to talk like them too. . When you are introducing yourself... add an 'o' or 'za' to the end of your name. It depends on your name... You need to say it out aloud, and choose. For me it would be either 'Jeano' or 'Jeanza'. Clearly Jeanza is the correct choice. If your name is Rob however... Robbo would be best. . Words that end with '--ing' now end with 'k'. . The word 'have' is superfluous.. replace it with 'of'. So 'could have' becomes 'could of' . You also need to remove 'my' from your vocabulary. Replace with 'me'. . Once you have made these new friends, they may choose to come around to your 'joint'. You need to prepare: - Place a couch on your front porch - Jack up your car and remove the wheels. Lower onto bricks. . Should you be looking to mate with a member of the opposite sex, you need to smell right. For women it is easy. Under 16 (so less than 2 kids to one father) go for a strawberry scent. Over 16 (2 kids+, 2 dads+) go for musk. For men it is harder. You are aiming for a mix of fish and chips shop smell, stale ciggies and engine oil. Most of your shirts should smell like this anyway. Unless Shazza has dunn the washink of course. . I could of gone on heaps more ay...

Could you put on a more comfortable pair of shoes than the old Treads? < Lol @ Jean you have it all down pat haha...great laugh! I see that you mentioned the ol' rat tails on men (and yes I have seen they are making a comeback eeekkkk)....but you forgot the "Dolly" haircuts on girls....closest you could get to the mens style of cut! < Ahhh, those were the days... xFunlovingx

I'm moving closer and closer to boganhood... Can you buy Cold Chisel CD's yet? Or are they still just on tape? I got one of those fancy CD players for my Torana and want to try it out..

JG, it's pronounced "Trana"And just for the record, the bogan no longer wears flannies and moccasins, The bogan of today is more likely found in the Gym, working his biceps and chest only excluding all other exercises, so they look like a a chicken drumstick!

RFLMAO. This is too funny. NOt being born in Australia...yes I am in import. Legalised citizen but an import still the same, the term Bogan was one I was unfamiliar with growing up. Always wondered what the correct definition was. Is this the same as the old "Poor White Trash" now replaced with the American "Trailer Park Trash" ?

AKA as the "Bevan" in the northern states of Australia.Thought i would begin this opening, as a community services announcement. As it is Australia day ("Strailya Day" if you are a bogan), i thought it would be remiss of us not to compile a list of character traits, as started by the esteemed "Jeano"Please feel free to copy and add the traits you ascribe to if you are a bogan, or alternatively, the traits you know your bogan friends have (And don't try to tell me you don't have any bogan friends....this is "Strailya" ..they're everywhere!Character traits unmentioned by "Jeano" thus far-1 You need a southern cross tattoo, and a shirt that manages to explain how close-minded you are. I prefer either "F&*^ off we're full" or "Born here, not flown here". 2 For men, it appears the current attraction is a rat's tail (oh yes... they are coming back!) but not a central one, it needs to be offset just behind your ear. 3 If you have dressed appropriately you may now be able to enter a bogan group. Look for them around pool tables or a pile of empty Jim Bean cans. But be careful... you need to talk like them too. 4 When you are introducing yourself... add an 'o' or 'za' to the end of your name. It depends on your name... You need to say it out aloud, and choose. For me it would be either 'Jeano' or 'Jeanza'. Clearly Jeanza is the correct choice. If your name is Rob however... Robbo would be best. 5 Words that end with '--ing' now end with 'k'. Example - Something = Sumfink 6 The word 'have' is superfluous.. replace it with 'of'. So 'could have' becomes 'could of' 7 You also need to remove 'my' from your vocabulary. Replace with 'me'. 8 Once you have made these new friends, they may choose to come around to your 'joint'. You need to prepare: - Place a couch on your front porch - Jack up your car and remove the wheels. Lower onto bricks. 9 Should you be looking to mate with a member of the opposite sex, you need to smell right. For women it is easy. Under 16 (so less than 2 kids to one father) go for a strawberry scent. Over 16 (2 kids+, 2 dads+) go for musk. For men it is harder. You are aiming for a mix of fish and chips shop smell, stale ciggies and engine oil. Most of your shirts should smell like this anyway. Unless Shazza has dunn the washink of course.10 Must learn how to "Hoyke a loogie"- Start by closing mouth and breathing in quickly through the nose, so as to dislodge as much mucus as feasible. Then, with said "Loogie" sitting on your tongue, spit as far as you can. The further it goes, the higher up the chain you will be11 Must know how to use the "Bushmans hanky" also known as "Valveing"- Place fore finger on 1 nostril, clamp shut, and blow out hard. Remember to cock head to one side, the true bogan will "Valve some distance", where the fucktard will forget to cock head, and "Valve" on him/herself12 "Trackies" are your best friend- These can be worn to EVERY occasion, except Weddings where Skinny black levis are standard. Trackies, allow for unrestricted "Balling". No need to be subtle, just whack your hand down the front and cut for it. Acceptable at any venue- Cricket, Footy, Supermarket, Shazzas olds house, anywhere!13 Who's next??

Bogans aren't bad people but the behavior of some seems to label them all. Rockingham is "Campbelltown by the sea" if you're from NSW, "Queanbeyan by the sea" if you're from ACT and I haven't been in QLD long enough to work out if it's Ipswich or Logan by the sea yet

personally I think a true bogan is just someone who does not give a fuck what other people think, for example I seen a middle aged man going for a jog along guildford road the other day.. he had the biggest gut I have ever seen and was wearing a leotard tight short black top covering only half of his belly!I had to have a giggle ;p

The bogan house usually consists of a number of elements (see below): The bedroom (for rootun). The balcony (for smokun/shootun). The livun room (for watchun telly/smokun/gettun pissed). The kitchen (for storun beer). The combined bathroom/laundry (for washun shit) . The shed (for rootun/smokun/shootun/gettun pissed/storun beer/workun on the commo). LOL loved this and we live in Rockingham! Pusscat (aint a bogan but do love my uggies) xx

I went and had a look at the full list of two hundred and some items on "The things Bogans like" list. I reckon 99% of the population would like some of those things.Lots of things on that list I don't like, wouldn't do, or want to be associated with.So.....if your not a bogan, what might one be?Cheers Nev

There are some good ones there...but I also think people are starting to get confused with the Occer Aussies from the 80s...You know like the family from the Castle...lol Didnt the Rockingham Council try to ban bogans or something? They wanted to update their image... The funny thing was until the debate was sparked...I had no idea rockingham was bogan central! Hoisted on their own petard. Dont forget a bogan will usually be sporting a missing tooth or rotten smile...because why would you spend $300 on your teeth when you could spend it on your Holden? xx

My Best friends name is Stacey.... well thats no bloody good... can't call her by her actual name. She was always known as Stace just like the ace of spades.Krissy G.. I had a hard slog holding the bogan banner at Safety Bay High... too many surfies and trendites. If you went to Rocko... well you were home and hosed. Loved my Black Duffle coat. my blue stretch faberge jeans and my permed hair... Pat Benatar style... oh and white dunlops from Kashmah cos I couldnt afford adidas. Thank god interschool netball carnivals were not between Rocko and Safety Bay... Poor old Rockingham town would have been torn asunder.When I got married ... 16 years ago... The invite read smart casual... everyone questioned it.. the oldies had never heard of it.. and my guy mates wanted to know more. Simple... I wasn't going to expect my blue collar worker friends to fork out money on suits and trousers that they probably would never wear again (hey we were unique getting married albeit after 8 years together) So as long as they had their best jeans on and a shirt and shoes I was happy. Most had long hair ponytails.. some had shaved heads... the funniest moment is when my own dad singled out one of the shaved head dudes... (I think he thought he had cancer). My girlfriends.. and my guy friends' ladies really surprised me... so dressed up they would give Claremont girls a run for their money!. And the best thing 20 odd years after I first met these people.. they are still my best friends... my clan!And that dear peoples sums up what a bogan is... I like your stereotypes I have had a good chuckle but don't confuse a bogan with scrubbers and white trash. Bogans are hard working and hard living. Everything is amplified and emotions are worn on sleeves. We are loud and proud. We have loud music.. loud cars.. laugh loudly.. talk loudly! If we are happy... you will know... if we are upset.. you will know... if we are angry... you will know... BUT I have never seen a bogan glass someone. It is normally the young and dumb high on smoking rock... a cocked pistol ready to go off at the slightest provocation. Which is why most bogans stay at home these days with the big screen tvs and the cool stereos... with friends and family...no drama!!! We dont like bullshit and you need to prove yourself worthy to be included in a conversation. In fact you need to prove everything with a bogan... you know you are getting somewhere when they have uncrossed their arms from their "how so.. please explain' stance to a more accepting thumbs hooked through belt loops and a DM or rocker boot lazily moving gravel around as they listen more to what you have to say. We dont like airheads, or rip off merchants or flash in the pans... if we cant see your true character after a few minutes... it will be a distrust that will stain you forever. We are down to earth and see things logically. (except for the money spent on cars, tvs and stereos).We never had the typical aussie bbq syndrome either!! Guys and chicks mingled freely and talked easily. Most knew each other from school. Me n Stace used to love goin round to "Grimmo's" not his real name he was just german decent (brothers grim???) on footy show night and Grimmo would sit with us in the kitchen wanting to know all the Goss of the week. These are my kin... I am there to lend a hand and so are they. (minds out of the gutter peeps). One mate who is a drummer in an extremely successful aussie heavy metal band.... actually stopped all traffic on a highway one afternoon to let a mother duck and her ducklings cross safely. Oh and ask him what he does for a living... no bignoting.. he is a granoworker (cement slab guy)Think the castle... ahh the serenity.. the pool room... the vibe... Its all about the vibe.Happy Australia Day

could as easily be Rockhamptom QLD. Bogans=rednecks=no class... It isn't funny. Australia is more than that. We do have actual culture and good food and intellect. Yeah, funny to take the piss out of, but honestly. Growing up in Sorrento and Quinns Beach, Rockingham was trash. Bogans aren't funny, just sad.

I am a transplant but let's see if these fit the bill. You might be a bogan if... | ...you have been married three times and your in-laws are the same | ...your grandmother can execute the "Sleeper Hold" she learned watch wrestling on TV | ...you lawn furniture used to be your lounge furniture | ...you yell "Somebody move this damn engine out of the bathtub" when you want to clean up | Gotta love it. Charle Daniels... "What this world needs is a few more rednecks"... | ...and I ain't so sure he's wrong!

Must add to the list - You own a second hand suit which is too big for you for court appearances only - and you only own it cause your parole officer got it from Vinnies and thats the ONLY reason for owning a suit!!! (oh its more than likely shared around between you and your mates - hopefully no ones court appearance is on the same day)... . Kisses Focus
