An excellent question. It is time to bring to the world’s attention the means by which we can keep the world’s bogans happy. The word bogan has had a bad rap of late – still associated with wife beaters, flannelette, VB, utes and mullets. But this conceals the new, modern bogan. The bogan with money. The bogan with aspirations. The bogan with Ed Hardy t-shirts. And this is no mere Australian phenomenon – in the US, you have rednecks, in the UK, chavs. While there are variations, the crux of the discussion remains the same.
The bogan today defies income, class, race, creed, gender and logic. The bogan is defined by what it does, what it says and, most importantly, what it buys. Those who choose to deny the bogan on the basis of their North Shore home, their stockbroking career or their massive trust fund choose not to see the bogan. They merely see old class battles revisited. Likewise, the bogan is no mere ‘tradie’. Even if tradies remained low-income workers, many bogans are affluent. And they set themselves apart by their efforts to stand out by conforming as furiously, and conspicuously, as possible.

If you want to see first hand a perfect example of widespread boganism today, go to the Qantas Club at Perth Airport when the miners are are all flying out. Many will feebly try and disguise their boganism by substituting their fluro and reflective striped shirts and safety boots for camouflage pattern shorts and Bintang singlets Some of the more fashion conscious though will splash out on something with Billabong or Rip Curl emblazoned upon it.
I have had many a rant about the attire of frequent flying bogans. You should see the reaction I get when I suggest that airlines should have a dress code…even the term ‘un-Australian’ gets a run.
Oh, the frequent flying bogan is still upset about the bar in the Qantas Club not opening until midday. That’s lots of wasted drinking hours.
I agree with having a minimum dress standard. Unfortunately, the airlines have very lucrative contract with Rio and BHP who clearly don’t care about their bogan employee image.
Why should airlines have dress code?
Well thay shuld, all tha hostesses shuld be in short skirts & be real pretty.
Yeah, it wouldn’t be the result of an exhausted miner looking to self medicate himself into sleep after 14 x 12hr nightshifts has flipped his circadian rythm?
Is that a question or a statement?
I doubt Qantas expected that anyone other than “professional” business men would frequent their Lounges when they originally brought in the Frequent Flyers. But as usual the bogan’s overwhelming desire for maxtremity has brought the Qantas FF lounges to their knees.
Wow, if that was true, Australian women should sue, huh??
I totally agree. Minimum standards should be slacks with a nice polo. Desirable standard should be morning dress, with court shoes.
Females can wear whatever they want. As long as they do not look attractive.
No, no, no to you dear ‘Bogan Spotter’, November is nearly upon us. Check out the herds and flocks of bogans heading to the Melbourne cup by “train” of course, so they can get totally pissed. Oh my, my that is one scary day. Being of the female gender myself, it almost makes me cry to see them staggering home, shoes in hand, vomit speckled dress, frozen and sun-burnt at the same time. The horrid cheap suits that the bogan boys seem to have found somewhere also brings tears to my eyes. In fact most of the bogan race goers look like they’ve robbed an op-shop in the dark. It must have been dark or they surely would never have chosen those outfits?????? Check out the Edelstiens, on race day………. I rest my case……………………Sigh x 1,000
Nah, you’re wrong. Everybody knows that bogans fly Virgin. Bransonis the world’s biggest bogan
Jesse, Virgin is has well and truly been knocked off the mantle of bogan carrier of choice by Joke Star. Even within the industry, that outfit desperately tries to hang on to a thread of credibility.
a plane is a flying bus.
you are obviously an unemployed greenie in love with bob browneye brown and his cronies…he wants to make his kind of relationship compulsary asap…WAKE UP STUPID!!!…
Like what I’m reading, impressed by the observed bahavour on carriages. As far as modern CUBS, observe the sunglasses pulled back on the head, the beckham style ‘mohawk’ cut, the light colored fasion loafers, and the dinner jacket hanging off the back of the chair at the banquet tables.
Kill them all, I say.
http://www.avatarepc.com/html/whatis.html
Behold the ultimate in bogan self improvement courses. Mr Viv and I were approached by this cult of bogan nuff nuffs in LAX while waiting for our cancelled flight to be rescheduled. Our flight was full of bogan Australians that had just spent 9 days in Orlando at a brainwashing conference to learn how to be Avatar Masters of their own destinies. When the flight was cancelled they spent their time pestering the tired and distraught by offering us cards with pictures of flowers on them and exercises we could do to make the world more compassionate, oh and contact details in case we wanted to join the cult.
I was fascinated by them and listened in to their conversations. One guy had just started his on business and was getting the other cult members on board. It was a great deal, you see he purchased all of these nutritional sports supplements and then if he could get 10 friends to sell them for him, he would get a part of the profit. If they found 10 friends to sell for them, everyone would be winners! Great idea. Most amazing though, given that he had been on a self awareness course, was this. He opened up his book on the plane “The secret wisdom of the ancient flower of life” and started reading, the first pages had pictures of Pyramids and some crap extolling the secret wisdom of the ancient Egyptians. Pyramids, just after he was trying to recruit people into his pyramid marketing scheme. The stupidity was delicious. Was it irony??
Anyway, i know have the email address of Jan Potts, the fool who approached me with a flower card. I’ll wait a few more weeks and then start reaching out to her for some help I think. Yaaay , a new project. I see on the website that i can also purchase cards with flowers on them to hand out to strangers….
Oh sweet Jesus on a unicycle…. P. T. Barnum was right.
great to have you back, v’vi.
Where are you Viv????, You haven’t graced us with your presence for way toooo long.
spiffy new banner – is this a hint for what the new book will look like?
Prolly not. We’re not even close to cover designs yet. We’re just getting a bit over the Ed Hardy thing. Keep things fresh. TBL
Bogans are still buying magazines with the same reguritated crap about the Royal Wedding. Sigh.
be interested on what you guys think of this stupid planking fad that’s been going on for the past few weeks. Come on do an article about it!
I don’t think anyone can blame people for wanting to make a buck out of mining. This has been a boon to people who would not have another chance to make a good life. For example, mechanics or fitters earning around $30,000 per year, can now triple that rate if they have the nous to go out and look for mining jobs. A lot of these people may be genuine bogans , but there are a lot of ex teachers, graphic artists, cleaners etc who are looking for a better life. My grandfather gave up suburbia in Sydney to rise to prosperity ‘on the sheep’s back’, so what is so different about these people. Some of these people may not be so well educated, but they are seeking a better life.
The answer, ilovemusic, is in your last four words…’seeking a better life’.
What constitutes a better life? Different folk have different ideas. Now, if you’re off chasing the big dollar so you can use it to improve yourself mentally, physically, financially,spiritually, ethically or whatever, I applaud thee.
If you’re chasing the big dollar to get a fully sick jetski, you’ve failed.
Agreed. As a medical professional in a mining town I can tell you that all of these people who went in search of ‘a better life’ just waste the money on a mid-90s Nissan Patrol, early-2000s Commodore, boat, caravan and trips to Bali.
Perhaps you’re not really a medical professional. Maybe you’re really a financial adviser and you can advise miners about what they should be spending their money on?
Mick, you’ve pretty much nailed it —
Bogans are materially obsessive — a driving factor is bragging rights, (particularly CUBs), who has the latest/best/top/most ostentatious/most expensive stuff; lifestyle is nothing to them.
as long as you drive a tricked-out Conformodore or shiny SS, wear new Nikes, a labelled hoody and designer sunglasses, while your chick is blinged to the max and carries flashy designer handbags everywhere.
it doesn’t matter if your sprogs don’t eat well, get to school regularly, or stay clean (ie. drugs/gangs/juvie), as long as you can go home to your McMansion in Cranbogan, sit down in your LaZBoy with a sixpack in front of the 100inch TV to enjoy channel ONE or 7mate.
One minute people are ragging bogans for not wearing expensive clothes, and the next for being overly materialistic. So which is it?
100 inch TV that they bought 438 months interest free from Harvey Norman.
You say that you support people who are chasing dollars to improve themselves financially?? Well it sounds to me as if you love bogans and bogan-haters alike. They’re all greedy..
So what is a bogan then if, according to your post, bogans can’t possibly be teachers, graphic designers or cleaners??
The teaching (formerly a)profession is now a magnet for Boguns. Jocks ie “Bachelor of Human Movement” trained teachers are the quintessential certified Bogun. They relate to the students on a bogun level, travel to Bali, Phuket, brag about lewd sex acts in asia, getting smashed, are sports informed yet arts ignorant, love toys like jetskis, x box heaven forbid, are fully into branding eg:wear quicksilver and asics are obligatory, have chinese character tattoos on neck and worse are obvious tribal tatts that are just a rip off of polynesian culture that they are not actually connected to. They are the movers and shakers of sex ed in schools under the banner of “Health and Well Being” and at the same time practice promiscuity in their own lives. plastic elongated ear piercings, mega buck mountain bike, road bike cafe loitering in lycras with the ‘in crowd’. These are the “Role Models” (to students”I’m your mentor mate or guys”)and ” just chill and I’ll share with you stuff that will make you wanna be like me, team”.”we all make choices, thats why I’m here to give you the tools” to be party safe” extrinsic rewards are rife and “on friday I’m going to reward you with a trip to Maccas, mark that in your smart phones thats what I do”. FYI there is a BOGUN RD out the back of Deloraine in Tasmania
PE / “Health & Human Development” teachers have always been bogan, Alex. Even when I went to school in the 80s and 90s.
Not only that, but they are also intellectually inferior to teachers who have to teach real stuff like physics or mathematics and they know it. So they carry a massive chip on their shoulder, which often leads to a confrontational attitude towards their students, particularly students who have more brains than them (i.e., 90% of the class).
Can you imagine one of these clowns trying to read Macbeth, let alone understand it and teach it? Or trying to educate students about the valency of elements and how they vary across the periodic table? Yeah, I can’t imagine it either.
Your insights into their behaviour in the staff common room are definitely interesting. That’s it. If I ever have kids, I’m sending them to a Montessori or Steiner school.
Ha!
I always thought “tribal” tattoos originated in borneo….

getting polynesian moko is just begging to have some islander kick your head in
http://www.mokoink.com/2008/08/05/moko-male/
Have you covered “wraparound” sunglasses? Or just big dumb lenses, like those ridiculous things perched atop of Alex Perry’s stupid bald head? Unimaginable ugly.
The only thing worse than a Qantas lounge full of FIFO bogans is the same lounge full of big-noting lawyers, accountants and sundry real estate agents and others who thought they had made the big time when they got their platinum FF cards. They deserve each other.
Sweet, Lonely Planet names Perth as Australia’s bogan capital.
http://www.perthnow.com.au/travel/travel-bible-paints-unpretty-picture-of-perth/story-e6frg3tu-1226087476492
Nothing surprising at all in the Lonely Planet article. Looks like Perth has well and truly overtaken Adelaide on the per capita ratio of bogans.
Adelaide never stood a chance. Poor sods.
Have any of you chaps ever been to Newcastle?
Have you noticed the latest trend amongst the single bogan male? Replace your need for a ‘lady friend’ with the hideous dog breed known as a ‘staffy’. Perhaps you could offer a scientific reason for this trend? Does the dog serve as a replacement? A reflection? A penis extension? A more intelligent I can’t say I’m the only one who has noticed the latest boganic fashion. A rather polished Brighton lady (of course) just happened to ask me if I had noticed how many ugly young men walked around with Staffys and exclaimed that animal shelters are now full of them (I guess the some of the aforementioned bogans may have partnered up). Bogans LOVE staffys.
Have just come across this and its a huge relief. So many things that bug me about Australia are on your list so the fact that they annoy/amuse/amaze/disgust others makes me not feel so alone in my, largely, non Bogan world (although I guess there is a little Bogan in all of us).
Was going to add a few items to the list starting with Staffys but Andee Jay beat me to it (well done, you hit the nail on the head there).
But I’d still suggest gas babeques, 4WDs, revering ‘The Don’, Channel Nine news, talking about home renovations/how much your house is worth, sending your progeny to private schools, talking knowledgeably about obscure places in the country (that you’ve been to once) and … the list goes on.
RIP sweet prince of bogans:

I am beginning to wonder whether many of the attributes mentioned here and purported to be boganisms are simply personal dislikes by certain pretentious individuals?
You are exactly right. The apparent witticism and humour of this site is quickly smothered by the seething negativity pompousness and judgement passing which, although often amusing at first ultimately leaves a bad taste. I think there are some very insecure authors/ posters who are rigourously revelling in there own sense of grandiosity because they feel that intelligence/superiority/value/worth can be measured by way of specific examples of clothing, vocabulary, interests etc. I want to love it because there are some clever posts and funny good natured comments yet whether the Tongue is firmly in cheek is unclear and it makes me a little nauseous and sad that clever funny persons have let what could have been great fun become a mass of pointless jism of what is essentially negative hatespeak from nervous first world pseudo intellectuals wallowing in a personal identity crisis.
Nah, you’ve over-intellectualised it.
I just can’t stand f#ckwits.
Bloody bogan!
you got me in One.
well done.
Flock Off…. flockoff. You clearly don’t belong here.
I don’t find this site witty or humorous at all!! I find that most of the posts are offensive, defensive and insecure. I don’t think there is such thing as a bogan. The bogen is missing a syllable. It’s actually bog-eym-an and the people who attack bogans who secretly know that they are, themselves, tasteless and at risk of being attacked by others higher up the food chain.
i agree jesse …please read my post defending australians and their reasons for putting chevy stickers on their vehicles …u alone understand
Nobody writing on this website is an intellectual or a pseudo intellectual. If we’re writing on this site, the most we can claim to be is middlebrow…
Brain fart… I’m glad you have found a sense of belonging via this blog.
Thanks flockoff, love your sign in name by the way. Even tho’ I may not agree with your opinions.
Wow … I can finally breathe after reading that. Learn the difference between there, they’re and their and overcome your fear of punctuation.
toodles to flockoff a real aussie battler
Almost took your intellectual argument seriously, but then realised you’d used ‘there’ instead of ‘their’. Are you a bogan masquerading as a non-bogan?
I think Flockokk is on the money in saying that there are lot of scarred people out there and I’m one of them. Your/our behaviour is at best no better than there’s and I wonder just how many of you are really bogans at heart, but have risen above the poo and can now see it.
I think we had better come up with an idea to either educate or eliminate this group, because they ain’t going away any time soon without intervention.
Personally, I’m for gated communities where anyone is welcomed, but must abide by a set of principals, just applying over inflated entry will not deter the bogan as is the case with the North Shore (NSW).
You’re ‘beginning to wonder’? You lolcock!
Pet6e Babe,
Not everyone has your depth of background in these matters. Please make allowances like we do for you.
Also, schmendriks, the biggest, most boganest signifier of the moment is the Chai latte.
Pete Babe,
You elucidate the sum of your lifes experiences with such finesse that ultimately no one gives a farrrk.
I disagree Peter! Way before the Chai Latte ever existed, bogans were easily identified at any cafe ordering a ‘mug-a-chino’!
Not sure if this has been discussed here already, but has anyone noticed the latest bogan fad to put ‘My Family’ stickers on their vehicle? Is this only a Queensland phenomenon or has it spread Australia wide?
http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/company-attracts-success-and-scorn-for-my-family-stickers/story-e6freon6-1226008678776
Yes, it has. I suspect they’re used by the sort of bogans who say “having a kid is my greatest achievement” and who hide behind their children whenever they’re threatened or feel the need to pose in an authoritarian or self righteous way to cover up what a f#cked person they are.
Along with the term “working families” it advances a repulsive meme designed to relieve the advocates of responsibility and to elevate themselves above people without kids without having to actually do anything to earn it besides go through the well worn and elementary machinations of child rearing.
Plus drive a big arsed 4wd badly.
Wow, nobody who I know who has ever raised children would describe the job as ‘elementary machinations’! It is the toughest job I have ever done.
I would not like to have you as a mum or dad, Martin!!
Claiming parenthood is not a means by which a person can ‘relieve themselves of responsibility’, as you strangely put it. Parenthood is the most burdensome responsibility a person could ever take on!
Martin, how would you characterise your relationship with your children?
pending
I don’t want to be considered a bogan so could this enlightened audience please advise me on:
What car I should drive?
Where should I live (or not live) and what is the acceptable style of dwelling?
What alcoholic refreshements should I purchase or be seen drinking?
What should I wear:
a. In public?
b. Around the home?
c. At an informal gathering such as a bbq?
Who should I vote for?
What foods can I eat that are not prepared either in the home or restraunt kitchen.
Please help with my dilemma.
What car should I drive? I would suggest an economical, reliable vehicle that can handle. Safety is a must. A small Asian or European maybe. Good value for money. For a performance job go for the Volkswagen…Porsche or Golf shall do. My one tip is to never drive a type of vehicle on the basis that everyone else thinks that it is cool.
Where should I live? It doesn’t matter where you live, there will be bogans. However, try for places that have services nearby. Schools, shops, medical facilities, public transport. When you find a place like this it doesn’t matter what type of dwelling you reside in. Find something that you are comfortable in. My one tip is never live in an area on the basis that everyone else thinks that it is cool.
Alcoholic refreshments? Your own taste is the big measure here but remember, everything in moderation. Don’t spoil your own night or the night of everybody else because of one too many. My one tip is don’t select your drink on the basis that everyone else thinks that it is cool.
Apparel? Wear whatever you think is comfortable and fashionable for you. Modesty, comfort and environment would be the most important factors.This holds true for every social situation. Good clothing can accentuate your strong points but poor fashion will emphasise your flaws. My one tip is to not pick fashion on the basis that everyone else thinks that it is cool.
Voting? Vote for whoever fits your circumstances.It differs for everyone. However, never vote for the political party that offers the biggest bribe. Vote for the party that offers the biggest future for not only your children, but their children’s children. It’s a big decision. My one tip is don’t vote for a party on the basis that everyone else thinks they are cool.
Takeaway food? Your own taste is the big measure here. There is lots to choose from and some is very tasty but remember, everything in moderation. Don’t want a nation of fatties do we? My one tip is don’t eat it on the basis that everybody else thinks that it is cool
Oh, sorry…I did mean to add the most important point.
Make your own decisions. That is a strong trait that is terribly underrated. Once you know you can do that you will always be bogan-free.
I hope this helped.
you are so cool Mick.
everyone says so.
Actually,
Only bogans drive cars. If you don’t want to be a bogan, do not drive a car.
Don’t live in a place that has services. Only bogans are aspirational.
Do not drink alcohol. Only bogans are boozers.
But all your clothes from Thrift Shops. Only bogans purchase new clothes.
Do not vote for any of the five major parties in Australia. Only bogans vote for them.
Do not buy takeaway food. This is bogan cuisine.
Most of all, do not listen to Mick. Bogans are way more immune to fashion that strident non-bogans. People desperate to be thought non-bogan try so hard to be cool by going against mainstream fashion that they are the greatest fashion victims of them all.
Jesse, you are so perfect. We all wish we were like you.
avoid pretension and overindulgence. (unless it is absolutely inavoidable.)
consider empathy. be nice to people.
seek quality, style and sustainabilty.
live within your means.
share your things, and eat your veges. Kiddies in africa are starving.
please pick up after your dog.
Yep and don’t forget to practice random acts of “kindness”. Heeheehee
Here’s a growing trend I’ve noticed on my regular travels to the outer suburbs of Sydney which I feel is worthy of note on the TBL page………..
Bogans seem to be ‘rebadging’ their new Commodores with Chevy badges – what’s that all about?!?
it’s all about identifying with America in this present crisis with the forces of darkness throughout the world …if we do not continue to listen to our political leaders and take everything they say without questioning it regardless of what it is that they are advocating then we will lose our freedom of speech rights …please grow up and understand that the leaders of the freeworld are doing this for our benefit because they love us … that is why they are called FREE WORLD LEADERS because they are the freeest leaders that humanity has …so once again have some commonsense and get with everyone else who is buckling down and wading out this crisis …that is why patriotic australians are putting chevy badges on their vehicles because they love freedom and freedom is worth everything …GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Oh my god, you are a fully fledged f*chwit Daniel. Well done I say. Keep up the good work.
thank you simon …you should give me your details and i will send you a copy of my manifesto …it’s a ripper …i dont take credit …just leave the money in a bag at roma street station …you are a true brother in the fight to get anglo celtic australians recognised as their own ethnic group by the united nations before we get annihilated by a confederacy of pacific islanders who angry at us for the countries sinking into a saline abyss …simon i love you and i will never forget you kind and humane endorsement of my deeply held beliefs
I’m happy to help Dan. Post up your manifesto or at least a link. I can’t make it to Roma Stn, goes against my personal philosophies and strongly held beliefs.
who could hate roma street station? …it has a fresh coat paint
Maybe they want to go and die for oil or something. Suits me.
Putting a chevy badge on your car seems a lot like putting a southern cross tattoo on ya. Some lame arse thing that doesn’t do or mean shit. They’re all stinging to sell out like a big ho just like everyone else. If not more so.
The thing is the people who are most reliant on globalisation, ARE THE BOGANS. It’s the housing industry who want more immigration so they can make professional wages for scum f#ck year 8 skills knocking down houses and sticking up units. It’s the moiners who like the global market selling dirt and shit to India and Choina.
I’d love to get you box head inbreds working in factories like the good old days. But because you’re all unionised you’d want $100k for sticking your dick up each other and probably an extra $10 each time you made a crude joke.
Feel free to post your manifesto here Daniel. It might even be sensible. But I bet it’d be harmful to bogans.
when you have the truth martin, you dont have to be sensible …rest assured i will be posting it in the next few weeks …and we will be taking it from there …wink wink nudge nudge
At some point someone is going to release a list called “Stuff That People We Don’t Like Like.”
They already have.
I am covered with tattoos, have no people skills and design surf wear – could I be a bogan?
The Bogan has no self-awareness, so no.
Surfers are pretty bogan by default imo. But then again so am I and I’m a spastic at surfing. Using words like retard and spastic is also bogan but I don’t care because it’s funny.
can I continue pole-dancing?
Sure, it’s a free country.
Do you do it because you want to
or are you being coerced into it
by relationship pressure.
The Bogan is more likely to be
the watcher, not the dancer.
See #124
yes you can daniella …it is your right as an australian …just lose the wog name …it makes me want to be sick
No – I do it because it feels great against my piercings
Stop it, you’re just teasing me now.
Then your palms, claves and thighs must be pierced because these are the only parts of the human body that make contact with the pole. Daniella, I know that you are a male writer masquerading as a female…
Hi Pandabater – if the tattooed pole dancer is the Daniella Ciano I work with then she is definitely a bogan. Bogans are rude and have an ill-founded feeling of superiority don’t they?
Yes, but I don’t want to start a fight.
Fight Fight Fight Fight
Perhaps she will give you a job, Panda.
That’s fckn LOL there Mick.
Well played sir.
Mart
yous are all a bunch of fckn nobs who just want to perve at me
Now things are getting interesting…
exactly what was it that made you think you might NOT be a bogan Daniella?
are your tats going yellow yet?
no – you slag. and my t##ts are around my waste like yours either
and you can stick your smart-arsed comments up your arse Mick
noice
And we see the colours,
under the colours.
Has anyone else noticed the essential bogan female fashion essential seems to be cheap, black work pants (the kind they probably got for free from the second hand shop so they could go to a job interview). And how they always wear them too long, so the backs get under their shoes or feet and get all dirty and ripped? I swear 97% of bogan women in my town partake in this fashion statement. They seem to blend especially well with giant prams.
This blog has lost it’s edge
No it hasn’t. Its hilarious.
How bout a bogan Jesus?
http://parapfernalia.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/australian-jesus/
Signs that maybe, just maybe you and your partner are 2nd generation Bogans.
Your Mrs’ name is Johdie or for the ladies, your old mans name is Wahyne (Pls note the inclusion of the essential silent/Bogan ‘H’)
You met your partner at Bathurst (She caught your eye when she flashed her tits, and your brown eye caught hers)
It was love at first sight….You both drank Bourbon…Jim Beam white , the real good top shelf stuff not that cheap ‘Woodstock shit’!
Being the lady that she is, she kicked off her muddy Moccies before she let you root her so as to not get mud on your Commodore’s bonnet.
Because you were so ‘into’ her and thought she could be the one, you only let your very best mate Macca have a go after you.
You let her ‘clean herself up’ afterwards with the Ford t-shirt that you stole for this very occasion.
Your other mate Chooka only let Macca ‘have a go’ because Johdie’s his favourite sister (half). And out of respect to Johdie he’s not even going to post the video online.
Your wedding cars were in the Commodore family (sorry but a HSV is still just a commodore, you can’t polish a turd)
If more than 10% of your male guests (not the bridal party) had to hire/buy a suit for the wedding. Then just said “Fuck it” and threw that tie away when they just couldn’t work out “….the stupid bloody poofter thing”.
And when they did eventually roll up their sleeves at 12:05 there was a second set of sleeves… featuring the very unique ‘scary’ underworld Benji tribal design.
Of course the ladies in your bridal party were far more discreet with the tattoos of their children’s names (with the silent/Bogan ‘H’), the asian scripture, the Looney Tune/Disney cartoon characters and of course my favourite…the butterfly tramp stamp! Which every red blooded male knows its true meaning…”i do anal”.
And of course you topped of your very special Friday lunchtime wedding with a classy honeymoon in Bali. Lucky for Johdie that she was able to get her other kids looked after by their respective fathers, except for Brooklyn’s, her Dad’s not out for another 21months. The DHS were able to place her with her ‘good parents’ that she stays with sometimes. Equally as fortunate is that Wahyne, Chooka & Macca are all miners, ‘coz you can take/sneak guests into the QANTAS club like 8 hours before you board and get smashed for FREE. Which was awesome for you and the whole bridal party, not to mention your footy club’s newly crowned reserves premiers, who were able to combine their end of season trip with your honeymoon …AWESOME!
What a pity your honeymoon was cut short because your waters broke whilst pole dancing and Mercedes was delivered on a car bonnet….ironically where she was conceived!
I don’t really understand this post. Is it an in-joke?
A lot of thought went into this one, well done.
Jeeeze Steve, you just described me bruvver and sistersinlaws whole life. You got a tin foil hat that can see the past then maaete? She never told no one but me that she took her muddy moccies off for the conception of Mercedes and I aint said nuffink to no one. You’re a tricky one you are. Gonna watch mes-elf from now on, you’re not one of them upskirters too are you? Looks like I better put me undies back on then
Hipsters: About as much culture as a tub of Yoplait.
Yeah, hipsters are as bad as bogans. Want to be so individual without standing out.
Nerds FTW!
Nerds make me laugh.
hysterical.
my brother actually does this shit.
he makes bux making chain mail and swords too.
the most profound juxtaposition of awesome talent and lame premise evar!
I agree.
I’ve really enjoyed this site. Probably because it has confirmed my already strong suspicion that may ex husband’s new wife is a bogan. The buddha statue at her front door gave her away the first day. Her daughter’s names are listed here and apparently life stops at her house when Masterchef is on. My children shudder when I suggest they visit their Dad, now I understand why.
Your children will never be able to have a healthy relationship with their dad until you make friends with his new wife and stop assuming superiority towards her. To have a rich and happy life, you should befriend her daughters too since they are step siblings to your own children.
You can’t choose your husband’s new wife but you did choose your husband, and when you decided to have children with him, you took on the responsibility of working together with him for the development and happiness of your children regardless of what the future would bring.
Put the bitterness aside and admit that you are hurt because your husband has found happiness with her. You don’t have to degrade her to make yourself feel better.
Yep, definitely a bogan. The Buddha statue is a dead giveaway. Sneak over late at night and paint it hot pink, that’ll teach her….heeheehee
I was at a Dymocks book store the other day and (that moronic chump) Jesse James’s auto biography was on the top shelf. I am assuming bogans everywhere will be wanting to buy his autobiography on his version on why he cheated on Sandra bullock and to sympathyze with for his hard life. I reckon he wrote to manipulate the public on giving him the sympathy vote and to blame the other people involved
I just thought I’d let you know I was checking out Lady gaga’s crowd outside town hall back in Sydney in July out of curiousity, anyway cut along story short I saw Richard Wilkins interviewing a few fans and without thinking I yelled out abruptly “RICHARD BOGAN WILKINS!!!” and he (yes he really did) and a few other people in the crowd turned their heads around to see who in their right mind would do such a thing. I wonder when I shouted it out he was thinking of your website god only knows, Did he tell his missus when he got back home after the event “oh some despicable guy in the crowd yelled out “Richard Bogan Wilkins” to me how disrespectful it’s probably because he was brainwashed too much by that irritating judgemental ambigeous things bogans like website that has been making me insecure for the past 6 months and making me ask questions about myself am I really a bogan?” The mystery will never be unsolved and who cares?. Yes I know it makes me a bogan to do that childish act of rude and crude behaviour but I felt I had to do it for honour in a way for you guys who are the founders of this website and in a way I guess as an unoffical messenger boy haha. I don’t intend do it again though doing my crude behaviour once is enough for that. Also just because he’s a kiwi doesn’t stop him from being a bogan check out the characters in the kiwi tv series outrageous fortune they happned to be the personification of the word bogan the kiwi equivalent and they are people like those characters luring around in New Zealand. Look at him in that pic you got on your website and on the book he’s got the accurate body language of a (cashed up) bogan and the mannerism as well
Don’t stress ‘fingers’, his ghastly hair,makeup, tandoori tan, plus botox made you do it. I thank you from the bottom of my bogan loving heart. I love them, I really do. Life would be so much duller without bogans to laugh at, we need them. Been living in Hoppers Crossing now for 14 months, best move I ever made. Going to the local mall is high on my list of must do’s, you should see them, gosh it’s fun. Could write a thesis on these observations, but that would be cruel. Shooting fish in a barrel is unsporting, to say the least. Keep up the good work, if in doubt…..SHOUT it out.
I find this hilarious I have worked in the mines for years now in city digging tunnels, my son and son in law are also tradies in the same job and we make a fortune 200K+ have done for years. We have big fuel guzzling 4wd’s that are great in the city for barging all the wankers in eco cars out the way, good for beach or forest action on weekends, we have boats, land in country and go overseas every year etc. I say to anyone with any drive at all to join in and go for it! let the latte sipping wankers and pushbike lycra wearing dickheads pay for our high paid jobs. funnily enough when you hit the innercity pubs its their wive and girlfriends who chat to us because they recognise some one who will give them a good time not take them to a secret laneway gig in some shithouse back street. hahahah thanks again and keep studying for those arts degrees makkas still need managers to make sure our grand kids are fed
stupid troll is stupid
or stupid bogan is stupid.
whatever
I have a fourbie too. I make my own coffee – machiato. Short. Sweet and light on the Texture I don’t need to publish my income. (I’m actually on benefits just now) but it’s sad you think 200kpa is a fortune. I also have interests in rural property and I don’t doubt your grandkids will be eating at Macdonalds. If you work for Xstrata or woodside, then you work for me anyway. Now go back to work dipsh!t.
Well get a job then you bludging slug! you obviously have an issue with people who work hard and spend their money on things you don’t approve of. This site seems to be attracting a lot of these drones on society. Wow you read the property pages and no I don’t work for either of these. Take a deep breath inhale a waft of latte, don the lycra and set forth on the pushy to the local free internet to carry on the key board warrior crusade. beeing a boomer as well as a cub gives me particular pleasure in thinking my consumerism may upset someone who is basically one of the leaches bringing this country down. In fact I think I will go forth in my road hog and by my grandson a massive LED tv just because I can haha this negative air is depressing!
by benefits I mean Paid Parental Leave.
I don’t doubt your grandson has a lot of use for a great big telly.
I see you never had much time for book learnin’s either, or is it just a comprehension problem? are you generally subject to a vague sense that you haven’t got a clue what’s going on these days? It’s probably common in your circles, perhaps it always has been.
I wouldn’t be caught dead in lycra. I won’t wrap my nuts in something I wouldn’t polish my (motor)bike with. You must be thinking of the other guy.
boomers are the greatest whingers in history. whinge whinge whinge about what’s “bringing This Country down” Ignorant, insular, greedy, self-entitled boomers are what’s brought this country down. You all reckon you got your slice and screw the rest of ‘em eh? Grandkids can make do with the telly eh?
Got your caravan yet? I bet you’ve got a big hefty old nulla-nulla stashed away in there eh? Can’t be too careful. Lots of locks on the doors at home? Insurance all paid up? Thought so. You’re just another fat, frightened, aging peasant. If the muslims don’t get you, the coppers will.
Seriously though, I don’t care what you spend your hard earned on, I just think you’re shit. peasants have always been shit, it’s their role in the big beautiful circus, it’s when peasants like you start to think they’re not shit just ‘cos they bought a fancy gim-gaw that I get my nose out of joint.
200k is a commission not a wage. you’re living in a dreamland Mate. shut up and just keep spending.
Engineers, Farmers, Artists and Mothers are the only people who actually make anything, the rest of you are just
“drones on society”
TBL #26 – Malapropism.
http://thingsboganslike.com/2009/11/16/26-malapropisms/
That’s a rant!
Don’t worry Chubb, I know this type. They are frightened that they will walk away with nothing and that their brother-in-law will have a bigger winnebago.
Here, a song for you to brighten your day. I know this version has synth-playing-dork instead of brass but what can you do?
You may have noticed I love my funk and soul. Bogans I work with hate it. Think it is about darkie getting uppity.
My wife introduced me to Curtis. via superfly. Smooove.
Tradie bogans with off the shelf personalities who think they’re king shit, ergh. Only in Australia. Makes me want to make Abbott dictator. Or me. We need to import heaps of g00ks and curries to tek ther jerbs. Well certainly ones like billy p00f who are on $200k a year and clearly do not deserve it. Except I bet he’s talking out his arse and makes about $70k and has debt up the arse too. That’s the thing about meatheads, they lie a lot just to piss you off because they’re g@y and they know it down to the bone. The whole boomer thing just makes it worse because they’ve had 30-40 years of adulthood to get a clue and or not be a dick.
“off the shelf personalities”
they model themselves on the commercials.
their whole sad lives imitating sad art imitating window dressed sad lives.
reminds me of my mum’s photo’s of all the boomers out at the stockman’s hall of fame in Longreach just recently: a bunch of fat, grey, suburbanites in “polarfleece” vests and hats all modeled vaguely on The Akubra (with not a skerrick of fur felt in sight – who the hell makes a cowboy hat out of leather and shade-cloth?) staring at the exhibits of The Real Australia and saying “Super” and “Beaut” and turning up the Lee Kernaghan when they get back in the Pajero to go and try and find a chemist open on a Sunday in Longreach so they can get some more coloxyl.,
where was I?
um… oh right. yeah. More than once I’ve seen 70k in used notes in a plastic shopping bag, but I don’t need to bollock on about whatever garish disposable legacy I’m plotting my spawnage, and I certainly don’t feel the need to proselytise (poorly) organised (semi) crime just to impress some moron who’s probably lying too. I built powerlines across the desert for $hitloads/hour back in the late nineties and kicked a hole in the Perth real estate market to boot. Then I stuck it all up my arm and was a homeless man in Brisbane, Sydney and adelaide for about six months by 2003. Last year we lost everything again and Yesterday I enrolled my daughter at Wilderness School and I’ll probably be dead of lung cancer before I’m fifty.
money aint shit and stuff aint shit
wtf with these people?
ranting again.
sorry.
I still haven’t developed a fake laugh. Or rather I have, but it’s just “huegh” or something pathetic. One of the reasons I feel out of place amongst bogans. I never bought into that “I’m laughing therefore I’m happier and my life is way better than yours sucked in” shit. If there’s a god he(or she) will give me points for that.
I think I said “sweet” once, but I don’t have the tough voice to do it bogan style, and I still feel like a dickhead for it.
Well said Mr Caek, tell the carn’t to bite his bum
>Paid Parental Leave. I won’t wrap my nuts in something I wouldn’t polish my (motor)bike with<
So ur a bloke playin mummy. Spose ur a homasexshill.
Get off ur arse and get to work u soylatte sipping bum.Bet u ride ur Vesper sidesaddle
Youse are what are killing the grate land of Oz
Give urself a uppercut. Ur imbarrissing
Only the weak insult mame and desecrate, it takes a strong man too be kind and offer love too another.
All herein are suffering.
When you say ‘overseas’, you mean Phuket, right? Every year? Or Bali?
Now, now….. Billy Bob, that’s very unsportsmanlike of you. Obviously you have no bogan traits and that’s just…… not good enough. In order to post here, you need to have at least a small percentage of bogan in you. Shame on you for failing the “cause”. You’ve caused me, to become all “WINDY” all of a sudden. Phffffffffttttfft x 100
I think Billy Bob has a bit of bogan in him, via #124. It is causing him some distress.
Wot’s wrong with lane ways anyway? And do you have an address for the said, “lane way”? I’m in the mood for a shag. A good one tho’. No 3 minute men needed, thank you very much.

OOH BF that got a bite, still true though and as has been said it’s great to be a CUB thank God for the moines! Glasser you seem to have a bit of a back door facination? not a latent poof are you? Glasser is a gay handle mate very lame I suspect the only glassing you do is a collection cup hahahah. Sounds like school teacher to me, art degree??
Check out the bluprint homes tv commercial currently screening in Western Australia. Is the dad in the commercial wearing a Travisty t-shirt?
I love the line, “and a HUGE home theater, where me and me mates can watch the BIG game! and with the money we saved, we can buy some BIG toys!” (pointing to 4WD hilux and mini cooper in driveway). Typical bogan mindset.
I don’t know whether to cringe or laugh when I watch this advertisement on TV..
that is our right as an australian chris
http://www.blueprinthomes.com.au/
This is crap. Almost everything present in Australian culture could make it onto this website as a bogan ‘like’. Almost everyone can be considered partially bogan because they like some of these things. Worse than this is the way genuinely lowbrow and tasteless things (homophobia, the Herald Sun, Bin Tang singlets) are lumped in with reasonable lifestyle choices, like owning a four wheel drive, watching car racing whilst having a barbecue or enjoying bourbon. Perhaps it is the spirit in which these things are done, though there are plenty of well educated, culturally aware people who opt for elements of a bogan lifestyle.
which we have all repeatedly acknowledged.
just because you like these things, it doesn’t mean you are bogan.
bogan is as bogan does.
I have some pretty sick tribal tatts.
boganomics.
Right Fellas?
bread and circus.
drones who slaver for big screen colour and movement and the envy of their neighbours.
clarse.
like old mate above… how many times do you reckon he can get “$200k” up in a sentence on an average day? How much do you reckon he actually earns per hour once you factor in all the FiFo and twelve hour shifts – wondering who is fcking your wife and stalking the kids while you’re away from the castle?
In a fcking desert somewhere.
Wanking yourself to sleep in a donga. Might get to fck the odd skimpy, geology student, or enviro officer too eh?
Right.
(Have you socked away enough to pay for therapy for your underfathered kids champ?)
I bet he buys them awesome birthday presents if he’s gonna be rostered on. Probly Skypes them on the day even.
He thinks he’s better than us and he’s stoked.
because he gets to buy a bunch of cool shit. and say Aussie a lot. and have opinions about boats from the North and KRudd.
200k That’s for driving a haulpak or some shit? He’s no engineer. dumb as a box of Big Dumb Hammer brand Dumb Hammers and happy as a pig in shit.
2005 Alkoomi Resrve Shiraz Simon and Mick, surprisingly good.
im a bogan and proud of it , all you idiots on here are probably over educated drop outs
What is an over-educated dropout, exactly? TBL
I smell jealousy ay bro, jus cuz i earn more than u guys by worken me a55 off, you keyboard warriorz bag us guyz out man.
go and enjoy yer black and gold instant microwave dinners while yas sit down on yer good sammys couch watchin yer black and white tv when a current affair is on hey.
lol pretty sure its the latte drinking ass lickers who are actually insecure here, blind freddy could spot it they are just bummed that there 6 year university degree still only pays 70000 a year and that we an go do some real work make 200000 and their wives all want to fornicate with people like us lol
Ok, sure. My wife married me so she can cheat on me with dirty, smelly fluro wearing manual laborers haha. My wife wouldn’t attend premises you were at let alone converse, or ‘fornicate’ with bogans.
Ironic how the bogans mind immediately goes to the financial outcome of a six year university degree. It is impossible for the bogan to comprehend one pursuing education for personal growth. Perhaps one simply wants to be able to express themselves without the appalling English skills you have displayed. But then, what is the point if it doesn’t help you put another vehicle in the garage?
Bogans want money for investment houses. Houses for which they then put up the rent. The bogan then complains about those who can’t afford the high rents being homeless and cluttering up the parks for which the bogan tax dollar pays for.
Here’s the best bit. They then complain about asylum seekers jumping the queue and being given homes that should be used for the homeless. Remember them? The ones living rough because of bogan investment rents going to the moon and they deserve it because renters are losers…
A confusing beast.
Okay, this little rant didn’t appear where I thought it would. Very embarrassing.
See Jamie? That’s what happens when you waste school like I did. You always answer inappropriately. Educate yourself. It will be worth it.
Wow! Good save Mick.
spelling and grammar, please.
either that, or Ash is punching your wife’s freckle while you’re still boarding the plane.
did you know if you delete c: windows/system32 it will speed up your computer and auto correct any spelling errors? Facebook pages will load faster also.
Win!
ps My mate Ash will be fornicating your Wife’s freckle before the gear is up on your flight out.
*clearly pissed*
how embarrassing. forgive me.
goodnight.
YAY! Go Ash!
Wanna know something? I hear that every day. About the miner’s wives playing up. Not Ash. To be honest, if you heard the way the boys speak to their wives when they’re in camp then you would realise it’s no wonder Ash doesn’t have time to post anymore.
In the last four years I’ve seen many a relationship break-up because of that. And my mob only spends about five months a year in camp. God knows what is happening with the losers who spend 9-10 months in solitude.
Nah won’t happen creek, she wouldn’t come within 20 feet of an elephant jockey, however with a bit of luck he may get a reasonably nasty STI from too much dung punching.
it says C A E K not C R E E K
you need to get a better resolution screen.
I get this on ekse bokse all the time – some kid calling me moar creek or moar cock
yeah yeah yeah. more cock lol. stop shooting me!
With mucho pleasure, caek.
It’s good to be home.
Yes, because as many great people throughout history have said ‘The key to life is making as much money as possible’.
That’s it Jamie you have to piss yourself it’s that funny, all these clowns hanging out for “China to crash”. It won’t happen and we keep working away, buying our toys, having fun rootin & shootin and my offspring are doing the same so get in while the other fools sit around whimpering haha. As I said earlier makas allways need managers to keep art/commerce degree people employed and they have free newspapers for them to read about another new mine opening.
Oi, don’t run away.
I’m more than willing to discuss Chinese economic indicators with you.
I hear the chinese are a bit toey about their exposure to Italy…
but wait Mick, surely chinese domestic growth alone can sustain our ekkanommik miracle???
I was dealing with a Chinese gentleman the other day. He was trying to beat me down on something, had no engrish so drew me a graph showing Chinese growth since 1979 at 12% to 2009 and then a dip since then for the next ten years at 6-7%. Bloody tightarse. Apparently this was good justification for a 50% disacount.
Watch out, the whirlwind is coming.
It’s not an economic miracle, it’s Australian exceptionalism.
Chinese domestic growth. Yes, well…if by that you mean stealing the town of Wukan off of those who own it, I say yes. Or no. I will decide later after a round of golf and sixteen schooners. Where were we? Oh yes, Wukan. It’s all about taking stuff off people to make stuff to sell back to those they stole it off but they don’t really want back anyway.
The Chinese are very good at revolutions. Why don’t they have another one? Has their capitalistic economy made them lazy? It’ll do that.
One of the sad realities of being an Australian person is having to deal with how many Aussie’s hate their own people. I think you should take a good look at yourself and ask yourself “what kind of a parasite am I that I turn on my own people”?
And you wonder why the country has never had it’s revolution?
Well … maybe that is because self righteous fuck-knuckles like yourselves inhibit the country with your inane self-loathing bullshit
Dan
I do not understand the link between the first two sentences and the last two sentences. TBL
Okay – the link is …because we have failed to care for ourselves as a people and consistently slagged our best efforts in the name of ‘culture cringe’ which is just self hatred. We have failed to become the best society we could of possibly been (culturally/spiritually/ethically/etc). Australian people and particularly Anglo-Celtic Australian people do not need the imput of other cultures to develop as a society. We all ready were all we needed to be. It is just the powers that be and self hating Australians that failed to let this come about because of their self loathing. Sites like this that allow people to criticise Australian people about such inanities like what car they drive and what clothes they wear continue to play an active role in stopping the awareness of Australians to develop as their own people seperate and distinct from all others. And that we have a culture that has to be respected. And if you do not respect it then you should leave.
We came from nothing; we achieved everything.
Yet there is so much more we could achieve if we gave ourselves the empathy we need to do so..
If you want to promote something that is worth promoting?
Promote that!
pretty standard white superiority bullshit.
it comes from america.
“And if you do not respect it then you should leave”
Did he just say F#ck off we’re full?
…of racists
Daniel, I disagree.
The Bogan would be responsible for greater destruction of arts & acheivement than any silly little website which bemoans the ATTITUDE & MOTIVES of The Bogan.
This Website promotes thought & enlightenment.
The Bogan vomits on thought on its way home from pissing all over enlightenment at the local glassing barn.
Whoa.
yeah …you would disagree you uncle tom
is that the only sentence you read simon …maybe you should learn to read and stop scanning for codewords …and then maybe you can make a contribution to your culture.
who is more representative of australian culture than the great RJL Hawke?
if you can evolve beyond eugenics, maybe you can make a contribution to your species.
now go back and actually listen. the reasoning you have been fed is simplistic, selfish and built on half truths and prejudice. It demeans our culture and insults our intellect with its shallow premises. Our culture remains strong. Generations of migrants cook their vile wog muck on barbeques in front of the footy. Their kids hot up commodores and learn to surf and talk aussie just like you and me mate. believe the evidence of your own eyes. if you can drop the confirmation bias, you’ll see for yourself. someone’s sold you a pup Champ. it’s all bullshit, or we would have been talking chinese and letting off frigging firecrackers next to some fly riddled roast duck whilst wearing Kimonos and busting out the Kung Fu A HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS AGO.
but we’re not.
matt sing, haseem el masri and anthony minichello play footy.
I can confirm this argument. Anecdotally, so it should be enough to convince your average bogan. My archole wog parents fed me offal and pigs feet stewed in some sort of flavourless jelly. My archole dad gave me some crappy wog name, but my mum prayed to white jesus so at least I came out blonde haired and blue eyed.
As a result of growing up in the cultural heartland town of the cultural heartland state of Australiana, B&S utes and cracking sad jokes about gay aboriginal asylum seekers, I kicked back and became a bogan. I had to smoke a lot of pot to retard my mental functions, but now I am fully assimilated.
Of course, I was born here, but yeah, wogs still gots to assimilate.
sweet!
moar caek? …is that gaelic? …are you even an australian person? …as a non australian person you do not even have the right to disagree with me …i demand to know your ancestry?
Daniel ya farkin idyut, you need to work on your act. 5/10, must try harder to be consistent whilst in character.
my ancestry is recorded in the state archives of tasmania as a (5th Gen?) descendant of John Bowers and Mary Hancock, convicted (on separate occasions) at Birmingham assizes and transported to Hobart. moar caek is too complex for you to comprehend I suspect, but it’s a play on greed, illiteracy, CAPSLOCK and self actualisation. (cake is the ultimate reward)
jane hancock.
sorry

so what your saying champ – is you are a pommie migrant …a fucking pommie migrant …can you believe that shit …insulted by a pommie migrant in my own country …my people were hardcore celts straight out of the gaeltacht betrayed and brutalised for the crime of being dumb poor fucking micks …really ned kelly muthaphuckas that gave this country its fucking nuts …and its fucking guts …my people were sunburnt fucking queenslanders that worked canefields and ran guns up and down the eastern seaboard during ww2 while taking fire from the nogs …so put that in your pipe and smoke it champ …you fucking pommie migrant
bit of a persecution complex, there.
Ah, a drunk potato f#cker. Makes sense.
Er, sounds like he came from the same socio economic status as you. 5th gen hardly makes him a pommie migrant. If anything it’s the poms that made the place and had the empire and shit to back it up.
Problem with you protectionists is you can’t get your shit together. You’re seperated amongst about 5-10 partys so you can’t even get registered let alone appear on a f$cking ballot paper.
You can vote for the Stable Population Party Daniel. If you want to send non white people back or kill them you can git farked.
no.
I’m saying my ancestors were pommie migrants.
I’m a Aussie!
mate.
and I’ve done my time on the cane – 12 hour days on a full stick double row planter for old Barry Gosper up in the Burdekin,
and I’ve run the odd gun in my time too. but that’s a story for another magistrate,
and the ancestry prior to the birmingham assizes was welsh and french, so I got ya gaelic and yr celtic up there.
and I don’t smoke a pipe, It’s a genuine hand painted afghan hookah.
and No you can’t have any.
Pretty sure moar caek said he was a 5th generation migrant, which would put his family in Australia during WW2, unless they were very short generations. So what exactly makes him less of an Australian than you, Daniel, seeing as you state that your family is Celtic ( I’m assuming Irish, as you mention Ned Kelly)?
I think you’re quite capable of brewing your own version, to be honest.
you know what actually happens to our great minds and achievers? they are ignored by the masses who don’t give a damn about ‘intellectuals’ in ‘ivory towers’. people who instead think running down a field with a ball is the pinnacle of humanity. so the real great minds leave to go somewhere that will actually acknowledge them. or they work thanklessly here and are ignored – or even mocked – by people who watch two and a half men and think charlie sheen is funny and interesting, people who get their news from yammering shock jocks, people who religiously read gossip magazines.
so yeah you’re right, australians have achieved a lot. but the majority of people in this country would rather hear about kim kardashian’s life or listen to kyle dickhead sandilands than know that this year’s nobel prize in physics went to an australian-based researcher. and that shallowness of culture deserves to be condemned.
P’bee, good rant dude!
took a few deep breaths to calm down after that, but i’m good now.
I have always loved you peebie.
maybe even moar than simon does.
not having a revolution = australia has failed.
well you learn something new every day.
No …there is nothing white American about it
okay pbee …i have thought long and hard about your deeply anti – australian sentiments …and i have a few things to say too you …number one – charlie sheen is funny …and the need for australians to identify with him just shows our level of commitment to the war on terror, that must be won at all costs …so there – no 1 is done and dusted.
number two – as for this so called phycisist that you throw in our faces as some champion of the enlightenment? …do u know what this douchebag worked out? …that the fucking universe is expanding at an excelerated rate …my dog fucking knew that! …who doesnt know that? …the guy looks like something out of ‘the boys from brazil’ and his name is ‘shmidt’ so he obviously cannot be trusted in any matter great or small …so there pbee! …there is my reply to your deep ignorance and intolerance.
That said! …i want to talk about an issue that is close to my heart …and that is ethnics walking around the streets between 6 in the morning and 6 at night …i dont think australian people whose ancestors have thought and died for this country should be subjected to the shocking visual of seeing a non-white person in the daytime …on more than one occassion i have woken up and gone outside and seen an ethnic walking down the street …on more than one occassion they have looked at me …yeah – sure! my dick was hanging out …but that is beside the point …so can you imagine what it would be like for a small white child to see a black person for the first time? …the shock and awe! …so i went to spare white people from this affront.and sure you will all agree.
so what do i propose?
i would like to see a petition sent around the whole of australia (excluding tasmania and new zealand) to see this become law in every state and territory …because if we dont the flood of non-whiteness will engulf us …it will be a mighty surge – a tsunami of ethnics rolling down the murray river pushing us out to sea where we will become food for humpback whales, great white sharks and sea turtles …can you imagine it? …22 000 000 australians bobbing up and down in the ocean just off kangaroo island being molested by emperor penguins …can u imagine your child being eaten by a 200 year old sea turtle? …can you imagine how cold the southern ocean gets at night (particularly during the winter months)? …can u imagine us sharing little whiting between whole communities of destitute australians as we wait for the next big surge blowing off the icy saline hills of antartica to chill our lilly whiteness? …can u imagine when your children ask you “if you could of done anything to stop this”? …what will you say? …what will you say as you sink beneath the waves for the last time like that ponce out of the ‘titanic’? …what will you say?
hmmm – a lot to ponder?
once again i dedicate this communicado to all aussies who believe in a bigger, WHITER’ world …god bless you all
Oh joy, we have the male version of Pauline Hanson joining us. Unless he really is Pauline in [written] drag?
Thank you fart …i will send you a copy of my manifesto
fought and died not thought and died …hehe
oh yeah …and ‘occasion’ has one S …i should prob edit it before i post it
and accelerated …i think i found a new way to spell the word …i might keep doing it this way from now on
and anything else i fucked up
You’re hilarious.
Is THAT what you call it.
I concur.
a funny cat. I can’t believe I got trolled.
bravo daniel.
Shame Moar, with all your experience too.
teh Humiliatiom!
It was the lack of eye roll which got me. you can’t get eye roll on the internets.
Fired up the a/c for the first time this year today Si. just sitting here with a cold Pale, got the baby laying on the lounge in front o’ me, kicking me in the nuts,
watching a film called Hanna. girl can shoot.
and you are riding to Kata Tjuta or something, aren’t you?
I rode up to the shops this morning.
I’m ok now.
pretty much.
beer’s a bit warm.. ish.
drinking it slowly. y’know…
the baby.
Cool, rode this morn, just 80km, bit tired. Prepared some of tomorrows lunch (I’m chef), had a beer with mah Pa and Sis. Now on couch with teh dorgs listening to Ok Computer on the iplop. Gotta love Christmas. Oh also helped my dad select tomorrows wines. Bin 707 and a Rockford Special Pressings Shiraz, both 2001 and then a Black Shiraz to go with pudding. 2001 Mt Edelston in reserve if we are thirsty, which us likely. Teh bogans wouldn’t understand so we shan’t share with them.
match report from xmas with senior:2001 Killkanoon Mort’s Block Cabernet Sauvignon. 1998 Grant Burge ‘Meshach Shiraz. 2005 Metala Shiraz, 2005 Orlando ‘BJT’ Basket Pressed Shiraz (bottle N0. 07141) and some ’06 Bin 389. Some poxy Hunter Valley Semilon and some cleanskin ‘reserve’ Marlborough Savvy.
Clearly Senior had decided the Alcoholic/Bogan matrix indicated holding back. Not to sound ungrateful – the Killkanoon and the Mesach were perfect… but I’m lookng forward to the 33rd Wedding Anniversary in January.
Apon arrival home I thought Katie and I could commiserate over one of our treasured Grosset Gaias, but then just as the cork sighed out of one of the ’02s it hit me like a thunderbolt “Oh No! Baek’s isn’t drinking!!!” but it was too late Simon! it was already breathing.
I’ll have to drink it on my own.
Merry Krissmass. I hope your Cheffery was appreciated, and Santa got you a nice new proper heavy bike.
I had to google Ed Hardy. I guess that is a good sign
Sounds like Stael Caek treated you well. The cheffery was good (8.5/10), Turkey just a touch over. The Rockford Special Pressing was outstanding and still has legs, protip – mark as drink 2014. The Penfolds was substituted out of the game and a Wirra Wirra 2003 RSW Shiraz was bought in at no detriment to the line up. A Turkey Flat Butchers Block was used as top up amongst the Moet and Black Shiraz. I hold that white wine is for amateurs. Sorry Baeks had to leave you alone with that last bottle, life can be unfair at times!
And the Mt Edelston escaped unmolested, it’s time will come!
subbing the RSW for the Penfolds was a masterstroke. A truly class move. Wirra Wirra had a world’s best Shiraz at London recently-ish we think? Dunno, but I would kill to find a case of ’06 Woodhenge intact. Let alone an RSW That would be the one I would trot out for the old boys in 20 years. That is if I hadn’t already drank them. Which I have.
I’m such a goose. but I digress.
you get 10/10 for Stael Caek.
you are not a wino r u simon? …u sound like david stratton when you carry on about that crap
bogans are emotionally stunted immature individuals for whom being drunk and self important are essentials. They believe the glowing reports of the aussi spirit of big hearted kindness, can do no wrong, while thier dog threatens to tear your leg off. The young bogans drink to excess and are so shallow as to believe booze is actually essential to life. They are bigots, clicky, shallow minded and have to be drunk in order to be acceptable to other bogans . Dare to ask them to desist from some sort of behaviour that is having a negative impact one oneself and face the outrage and indignation of a tiny mind that will be out to “GET YOU” in revenge. Ie “Dont tell me what to do!!” I have rights!!!
Inflicting offensive noise onto thier neighbours is thier right. Boom boom cars, a caged parrot next to your fence shrieking in confined torture. DBB blasting through your home. They love jet skis. Lots of noise makes them feel important and noticed. Variations on the Bogan are sadly a large section of society. Thoughtless, selfish, the walking dead who swell with pride when they can prove thier worth by rushing to clean up the mud after a flood. When the clean up is over, its back to bogan business as usual.
Spot on!
and another bogan trait …they dont know how to spell: ‘their’
Neither do they know how to capitalise nor use contractions, colons, ellipses or full stops.
ok here is a TRUE story of a bogan family…..
i sell a product which every household uses(water) bogan or unbogan,bogan dad rings
“hey are you the fking water bloke?”
well yes iam.how can i help this fine day?
now before i go on i saw the area code of the incoming call which corresponded to a area where bogans are aplenty so odds on i wasnt speaking to someone who NASA has on speed dial
“mate we are totally fked here.the fking tank shes a fking bone dry”
“excellent well you have rung the right number to rectify”
“recca fking what,nah the retec is fine mate,we aint go no water”
after a lenghty confo with multible fk words thrown around like undies at tom jones concert by bogan dad i told him i would be there in around 45mins
“oh your a fking legend,i will have a cold jim beam ready for ya”
“its 8.30am mate”
“yeah but its after noon somewhere in the world”
i arrive at bogandowns to stock standard sight of old carbodie,bath tub in the paddock and a dockers flag hanging skewif from the garage roof.
i start backing down the very narrow driveway,greenfinger bogan planted whitegums along driveway making it a operation in skill the same as a plane refuelling mid air one false move…..
bogan dad emerges from his bogan bunker
mullet-check
flannel shirt-check
acdc tshirt=check
black levis=check
overweight=check
he starts directing me down with arms flaying widly like a big dutch windmill,i hop out of the truck and was greeted with
“fk me you did that well fella,the last cnt that tried it wiped out his mirrors..both sides”
“ok billy ray syrus wheres the tank?”
the next thing all these kids start running out from the bunker of different ages,i asked one of them
“how old are you little man?”
“i i i im fking 3″
i look at the father expecting a telling off or something but…
“yeah but you be fking 4 soon wont ya”
ive dealt with heaps of bogans over the years but that little gem is best ive come across
I came across this site thinking it would be a collection of harmless, droll observations on the “working class”, maybe flannel shirts, 80s hairstyles, being unionised and sticking it to the boss.
Then I see: Donald Trump, Louis Vuitton, Palazzo Versace, Jersey Shore, Zumba, Wii Fit, designer drugs and Ministry of Sound… contemporary indulgences. So its not quite about what I thought it was, but a new picture is coming into view.
Perhaps what defines the ‘new bogan’ is the need to project unwavering ‘normalness’ and machismo, whose self worth is determined by strength in any field except intellectual, cultural or artistic.
A ‘new bogan’ will say ‘I’m better than you because I’m STRONGER, work HARDER, earn MORE, drive a FASTER car, have TOUGHER politics, and in a contest of sex and violence, I would WIN’. Kilowatts equal credentials, modesty and politeness are for the weak. Whoever screams loudest must be strongest.
The ‘normalness’ and machismo can be gotten by buying branded goods that sell the image to everybody in sight.
I’m not saying any machismo is bad, I’m guilty of some of this myself. And, without any ‘new bogan’ machismo traits whatsoever, one might end up resembling Caspar Milquetoast.
Which brings me to something else. Those coming on here to decry this website and blame whoever dislikes boganity as ‘hipsters’, as though these are the only factions that make up society. This is stuff and nonsense.
The opposite of a bogan, or more particularly the ‘new bogan’, is simply someone that is modest. This could be a scientist that wears cardigans and drives an old Subaru. Drinks tea, not coffee. Lives in a modest suburban home, not in a McMansion.
Or an immaculately groomed evangelical Christian family with a 1950s style household and polite children. Votes conservative.
Or a hard working, modest, no nonsense outback farmer. Eats simple food because that’s what’s available, not by choice ‘because fancy food is for sissies’. He fixes his truck because its his mode of survival, not because it earns him street cred with the twats down the road he hangs out with at the local Westfield. Substance over style, function over form are the antithesis of boganity.
Reminds me of the divisiveness caused in the Republican Party in the lead up to the ’08 presidential elections when Sarah Palin was named McCain’s running mate. ‘Country Club’ Republicans didn’t want anything to do with her. They are on the conservative side of politics, however only in the fiscal sense, and they probably detected a general lack of brilliance on Palin’s part as well (the subject of Palin’s bogan appeal could be a topic for another day). You don’t need to be a democrat to hate Sarah Palin, just as you don’t need to be a lefty to hate bogans.
So there you go, next time you get called a hipster or foreign for being a fan of TBL, you’ve got at least 3 valid defences. Try being MORE CONSERVATIVE and TOUGHER ON ELITISTS than a right wing Christian!
Hey, 1/250th.
That’s an excellent post!
an immacutely groomed christian family? Bloke, I grew up in fundamemtalism and I would prefer to be a drug fucked bogan loser with a pussy cat dolls fetish any day of the week. if i had to chosse between the bogues and the fundies, i would choose the bogues and their outlandishly self serving obnoxious ways. i get the feeling mate that you are a conservative bloke with a conservative agenda yourself. am i right in saying that?
Bogans are people too. It’s just that they intimidate you. I just step on them and squish them, but I don’t hate them.

Yep, have noticed due to being forced to live in endless flats at one time,
that the Bogan Bastards and Bastardess’s have no respect for the term…
“Quiet enjoyment” of the said rental premises… W.T.F….???
Why can’t they understand that in high density living, that they need to turn down the music, stop tuning the monaro’s and other shit boxes ALLLLLL weekend and that the people in the next block of flats are not interested in hearing their noisy, “shagging behaviour” or noisy, “fighting behaviour”.
Hello reality check………………………………….
The F word is NOT A PUNCTUATION mark,
it is often used by people with a substandard vocabulary.
To all the noisy Fuctards out there….
Shut the F**k UP,
I’m not deaf and have no wish to hear you or your ghastly kiddies.
Oh, and how about this………… a 4 year old neighbour,
YES ONLY 4 yrs young said to her mother within my hearing, while her mother was trying to feed the 2 year old a party pie, which she wouldn’t eat… and I don’t blame her, cos I’m a FOODY snoblet,
“don’t farken give her one then”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Boganette mum said, and wait for it……..
“good point” and didn’t give the 2 year old a party pie.
Oh sigh x 1,000………..
What hope do those kiddies have?
= NONE.
Oh woe is me,
feel like chucking myself under a bus.
Mr Fart is the kindest man in the world or else…
I would have topped myself by now.
Youse all think ur pretty superia doncha?
how many a ya got 2 investment propertys ?
a 5 bedroom house with water veiws on the coast? Naw – thougt not.
Got a commadore and a brand new Colorado? Nah mate ..cause I’m just a superia winger.
next time youse see a bogan miner in the qauntas club youse shold walk up and beg to be decked.
Their are 2 sortsa peeple in oz – the ones that work hard for this land and get the rewards, and the ones like youse who are just jellis loosers
Has anyone else noticed that the trolls are getting more obvious every day?
the forced bad spelling is a dead giveaway.
You have to love it Baza, as I said in an earlier post while the talkers sit around bitching it leaves more jobs/money for us and our kids. If you work hard you set yourself up the only downside is the Bro’s have cottoned on and are coming onto sites in droves. Still there is plenty of opportunity and things to buy haha. I might go forth and pick up a new Sony LED for the grandkids.
you already said that
That is such a bogan trait. Thinking they have a monopoly on “hard work”. F#cken idiots. You’re mostly a bunch of year 10 dropout dead shits. Who puff themselves up to make up for the fact that you’re a bunch of meatheads. The average non-bogan could train up to do your job in about a month and you know it which is why you hide behind your unions and bullshit tradie licensing requirements to stop the g00ks and curries from coming in and doing your jobs.
If you think you’re so good move to the US where you’ll be paid about a third of what you get here. You’re just as bad as those overpaid libtard ivory tower dwellers which is why you both vote Labor.
Mind you atm I would prefer Labor but not because I want to be paid $100k to be a lollypop man and if I were one I sure wouldn’t think I was king shit for hiding behind a union.
you can buy a sony led tv pretty cheap you know. even i can afford one and i’m a student on a scholarship. come up with a better piece of cliched extravagance next time.
buy them a jet ski.
and motorbikes.
and chainsaws, get them chainsaws.
good Stihl ones. Not that poxy Husqvarna crap.
I never liked Husky saws. I always thought they looked ‘boxy’
and get paddock bashers for up the block. get two so they can have Smash-Up Derby,
and maybe some horses.
and guns. get them guns. go and shoot roo’s for dog tucker. do they still have ‘roos at Pennant Hills?
get ‘em a dog,
just get the fat little fµcks off the sofa.
Moar,
How the hell you hanging ?
,Last sawe I owned was an Alpina, Italian from Glen Osmond Mowers. 53cc and it licked the pants of the neighbours 60cc Sthil Years ago had a Solo Rex now that was a real mans saw ! drag out chips big enough to take the skin of your shins !.
Hey There are somw realy weird peopl on the Bogan Baby names site from time to time. What ? !
Some even wierder people still running Syria. Cant waite to see the smirk wiped of Asswipes face. Love to see something slow and nasty catch up with Ackack Dinnerjackt too.
Aynways best of the new year to you and yours.
ciao~
ah James! there you are!
My God, I had a massive old Solo years ago.
it may have been my first saw…
the thing must have been about 90cc and still had the manual bar oiler. I used to fill it up with old sump oil and just pump frantically. By jingo I had some powerful forearms back in those days! I had the (everhot?) wood burning stove with the hot water built in so it got plenty of use. We had a kerosene telly too. not bad, but you had to turn it off and wipe the soot off the screen every hour. I did a year with a tree surgeon a while back, I got right into it, loved working on a saw. from memory I had an 044 (or o48?) magnum and a litlle 020 lopping saw. awesome pro. saws. These days I just have a sad little 023 farm boss. Fortunately the fire is just for ambience these days.
meet a Greenie who loves chain saws, I’m also a pacifist who loves guns! that’s just a little more about me….
any chance of seeing you at fringe this year?
I had a Husqvarna .280 hunting rifle once, with a 6.5×55 scope.
It was beautiful.
When I got married, the wife said she didn’t want it in the house, and with kids around, that made sense.
It was the only thing I’ve ever sold, and made a profit on.
did it look boxy?
I don’t think I knew Husqvarna made rifles.
There ARE people who spell just like BAZAAAAAAA!. I’ve seen them on facebook.
ohhh fuckin facebook! – how fuckin bogan is that!!!??
can anyone help bogan rhonda?
And as we head towards Australia day wondering which city will win the “Best Race Riot” awards for 2012, you can witness the sad plethora of cheap Australian Flags being attached to the wintows of bogan charriots of all shapes and sizes. Don’t get me wrong, I do like our flag just as it is, but the bogans could at least have the decency to source and purchase ones that are manufactured in Australia. But no, in order to save a couple of dollars, they will, in their Bundaberg or Jim Beam induced haze, buy the one that has “made in China” on the label. Yes Bogans are proud of Australia, just so long as it doesn’t cost them too much.
Well, um, I’ve stuck a small, um, foreign made Aussie flag on my post box, coz I’m a proud Aussie, but I sure as heck aren’t a bogan.
I do it every Australia Day, and ANZAC Day.
At least the bouge and bougettes Bundaburg induced haze is Aussie, or are they making that in China now?
Someone should check…….I wouldn’t put it past Diageo, the huge Pommy corporation that owns the Bundy brand name…..
slight tangent, but what i’ve always found odd about the ultrapatriotic flag wavers is how terrified they are of any criticism of the country. it’s worse in the usa but we’re going the same way, with so many people seeming to hold the opinion that to ever say things are less than awesomely perfect that you’re an unaustralian traitor. it’s that ‘love it or leave it’ attitude which simply shows morons are too dumb to understand that such a thing as constructive criticism exists, let alone that australia actually isn’t heaven.
tony abbot tuff talking the border defence line sounded pretty down south tea party to me. I see an aussie flotilla of citizens militia patrolling off ashmore reef, pissed, calling the navy in on suspected illegal refugees. Corey Bernardi can hand out ‘impromptu’ banners – Bomb the Boats & BѠBs lol!!! and administer the Grass Roots refuelling station and Ammo Lounge.
‘ᴥ’
I think the flag has been utterly defiled by jingoism and the fact that the average Australian these days is about as Aussie as the average con man. It’s meant to be about being a man but Australians are for the most part a bunch of gaylords.
by ‘gaylords’, do you mean ᶋucktards?
‘cos I’m with you.
Yeah, but kind of gay too. It’s like they’re trying so hard to not be gay that they’re gay. I reckon a lot of them secretly are stinging for some cock, what goes on in jail is proof of this.
Reporting live from Bright.
I bought a carton of beer Monday for our trip. The dude offered me an Aussie flag for my car which I declined. He said “can’t give these things away”. Guess I wasn’t in a bogan suburb.
Have you been to jail and dropped the soap Martin?
I’d never go to jail I’d last about 2 seconds.
perhaps it’s in the name Simon. For example if you had been buying a carton of beer in Dolt, I doubt there would be a single Aussie flag to spare.
If you say anything conservative arsehole poiticians or shock jocks or uber- bogans-with-access-to-TV-air-time don’t like, they call you “un-Australian”, even if your mob has been here for, like, 150 years.
Prime example – John Howard played the un-Australian rhetoric when the majority of the population said we shouldn’t go to war against Iraq.
That little creep is still in the game too, pulling Tony Rabbitts strings.
James Hunter, are you on holidays, or what?
I think the latest bogan drink is Rekorderlig, at least here in Perth. It’s probably been around for ages, I don’t know, I don’t go out that often any more, but now when I do go out pretty much every bogan is swigging a Rekorderlig, and whenever I go to the bottle shop it seems at least one bogan is buying a pack.
Another thing bogans like is ‘Premium’. Not premium anything in particular, but premium everything. I guess it makes them feel like they have succeeded in their aspirations, they are successful enough that they can afford to pay for premium, and they are of such good taste and discernment that they can identify, say, a premium potato chip from a non-premium potato-chip. It helps that many premium brands state ‘premium’ on the packaging.
Annnnnnnd for example ; Premium Economy.
It’s ironic that the writer criticizes a bogan for actually trying something new – other then whatever passes for beer or wine as swilled out in Perth.
It’s good Swedish cider. Maybe you’ll luck out on a blonde should you imbibe some. Or stick to a chardonnay if you want to play safe, I don’t care.
LOL @ DP!!! Am I to assume that you are a fan of Rekorderlig? A good mate of mine in the industry in Melbourne assures me that Rekprderlig id generally drunken by bogans who think they know about cider and think it is a good cider, when it is in fact far from it. I’m not saying you are definitely a bogan, you might be an exception…
As for the “beer and wine swilled out” here… Having recently moved here from Adelaide, where some decent wine is produced (maybe you’ve tried some?), I’m still getting my head around the wines here. I’ve already had some good ones though.

What is a Bogan?
When the term bogan first arrived in the 1980s it was simple. A bogan was some semi-educated lower class Australian living in the outer suburbs or small country towns. It is interesting to see the word coming back into use but it is differently now, it is used vindictively. In the 1980s people would admit to begin a bogan but now nobody does. What has changed to Australia where once we were supposed to be egalitarian but now there is barely controlled hatred for tradesmen from university graduates; whom I suspect are the majority of people writing on this site. I lay the blame on encouraging two thirds of the population to get university degrees, many of which are partially or entirely useless and provide graduates with limited real skills. This is large scale fraud. Tradesmen, however have skills and can do useful tasks. They deserve the pay they are earning. So if you are an media studies graduate with a HECs debt and work as a government bureaucrat writing reports and emails that nobody ever bothers to read do not direct your anger towards the electrician who earns three times your wage and is spending it without the discretion or middle class taste. Direct your anger at the governments and education systems that launch mediocre students into an inflated university system to prepare them for work that does not exist.
Well f(x) are we bitter or Wot?
Am a tad partial to tradies.
Especially when they taunt me with such scantily clad bodies and gorgeous shorts….nice legs too.
So shut the F…Up and………..
Show us your dickies/sausages/swords or light sabers

Haha, I think the demographic you are referring to are otherwise known as “Green” voters – party of the public service sector. Feel very strongly about spending other peoples’ money.
Probably get flamed for this….
whatever.
couldn’t be bothered.
cya.
so, I am a tradesman electrician of 20yrs standing and I’m studying first year Deep Ecology (completely useless). Where do I fit?
I also made a shitload growing and selling highest quality bush dope to morons.
go and have another bong.
“They deserve the pay they are earning.”
No they do not. Well some of them do, some of them are cool, some of them are even underpaid, but there’s also a lot of them who are overpaid and are rip off bastards. Just as I agree there are a lot of white collars who are overpaid and should be sacked. Like anyone in HR.
We need to import more tradies imo and get women working in HR back in the kitchen. Make my dinner.
Hello, Newbie here.
After reading through some comments, especially the ones defending the bogan’s. I don’t think the intention of this site was to criticize what certain people wear or eat – these things don’t really matter.
Bogans are rude, ignorant, mostly uneducated, sometimes racist, sexist, quite often criminal, shameless people and is a culture within its own. The Bogan culture just like any other culture or group of like minded people share characteristics and similarities and their similarities are what people are listing here – 4wds, Ed Hardy, babies at 15, fluffy pink Playboy merchandise ect. People claiming that the site is hating on Australians is utter garbage, bogans are bogans and there are many Australians out there with class and self respect who detest these lowlife bogans for even claiming that they represent Australia and true Australians. Bogans are not the pinnacle of true Australianism and are just as detested by respectful Australians as they are by any other nationality that has to experience these lowlifes in this country. Pointing out truths about a certain type of people does not make people hateful, same way it does not make a person racist for pointing out another’s racist behaviour. It is the truth, and well done on people for pointing out the truths.
On a slightly different note, another aspect of boganism, which I don’t think has been touched on, is Bogan cops. The police force seems to be filled with them. Racism, Sexism and even favouring like-minded Bogans are not beneath them and if anything is a gateway for Bogan cops to express their hatred and ignorance. I see it happen so often it sickens me. Ugh.
Orrhhh, I got a sore belly from laughing at these comments, but that doesn’t mean i find the subject to be a joke. Boganism is very real and evidence that Australia has some serious problems with its society and culture.
Perth is the Epicentre of Boganism! Both old and the new CUB’s are in their complete element over here. The mining boom has given the bogan serious clout and they now openly challenge the yuppie for superiority on the streets and airport terminals. The Bogan is thriving in the West and they’re loving it. One thing i’ve noticed a lot, its actually Ok to be racist and comment openly about your dislike of foriegn visitors and migrants. The W.A Bogan is proud and cares little about what others from the East think.
I think they are deserving of their own title, “Wabogns”. They have surely earnt it.
Oops, Wabogans!
Perth……..City of Bogans.
What about tribalism. Is that Bogan? Hope not.
Perth bogans just have to slap personalised plates on their chariots. It’s all too common.
In answering the question, “What is a bogan?” one must bear in mind that, conservatively speaking, 90% of all Australians can be regarded as bogans, in that their behaviors are predominantly bogan-esque.
Wow. I stumbled across this website and assumed it was light hearted humor, however it is evident by certain comments and opinions that individuals really believe a “bogan” is a parasite. I am dumbfounded at the idiocy of such revelations. What ever happend to “live and let live”?
I have several friends who are “bogans” and tertiary educated alike, we all are accepting of the each other based on common traits, not individual preferences.
This form of elitism on either side is why our beautiful country is going down the proverbial drain. Why cant we be more accepting of our differences within? We have such emphasis on multiculturalism, yet we cant allow our own Australian differences.
I identify with both, without our “bogan-isms” Australia wouldnt be the laid back and carefree country we are. Likewise with the educated community, Australians would still see “spag-bog” as a foreign treat.
people are jealous of anyone who has more money than them, bogan or not
spag bog is a foreign treat ya smarmy pooftah
When I found this web site,
I thought it was FANTASTICALLY “incorrect”.
Loved it, X1,000
Now its become such a bore……………
Check in from time to time.
Yawn, yawn………..
Good luck to y’all
Lots more sites out there…
With, “more interesting topics” and super clever misfits commenting.
Sorry guys,
this is such a disappointment.
For old times sake………………..

Oh well Brian, I’m sure you’ll keep yourself amused with those other sites. I think you may like http://www.bearsperth.org . Sorry, no refund for you, but the referal more than makes up for it.
Where are these sites Brain Fart?
Yeah thanks TBL, you deserve free #124 for a year. Ash will supply the girls.
