All Things Bogan Thread

The word "bogan" is believed to have originated in the late 1980’s in Melbourne. The term has always had close ties to the working class, and the original intent and purpose of the word remains up until this day. It is believed by some (but not actually verified) that the word may have ties to the Bogan River district of Western NSW. For more information on the Bogan Shire, please visit the local council website at http://bogan.local-e.nsw.gov.au.

Whilst the actual word “bogan” has only been in mainstream circulation for around 20 years, historic evidence points to the existence of bogans for many centuries past. It is widely believed that the majority of the members in the first fleet to land in Australia were actually bogan prisoners from the United Kingdom. Therefore, it appears that Australia was actually established by criminally insane bogans who enjoyed drinking, fighting and shooting.

The evolution of the bogan to that of what we know in the present day is largely believed to have commenced in the late 1970’s. The children of ‘generation x’ form much of the current populous, whilst their offspring continue in the same mould as post-modernistic bogans. The adoption of key elements such as the ‘mullet’, the flannelette shirt and the ‘trackie-daks’ are also indicators that the contemporary bogan gains inspiration from fashions of the 1980’s in the era of the ‘bogan renaissance’.

No doubt the bogan will continue to flourish wherever AC/DC is played, or where a VK Commodore is doing a burnout.

Yes, he did do a stint as a garbo.

He also has an English Honours degree.

Not defending him because I don't know anything else about him, but lots of people decide to do something manual for a while.

For heaven's sake, I even spent nearly two years as a flight attendant just because I wanted not to have to be competitive or think too much.
 
I've recently been accused of beeen a bogan..... Reason? I drink VB. Why? It actually tastes like beer.
Is it just me or does no beer currently produced actually TASTE LIKE BEER anymore? They all taste like perfume & flowers to me these days, especially anything made in Europe or that is low carb.
What happened to the days when you used just drink beer? Instead of talking about it's 'boutique' or how much weight you have lost drinking low carb cr@p? Flavour, balance, hoppsy? Who gives a rats mates, lets just have a tinny.

P.S I dont have a mullet, a commodore ute with personalised plates or a GF named Shazza, but i do smoke Marlboro and scratch my nuts in public.
Yep a mans' man.
You homobrofos' can stick your microbrewed horse p!ss, drink a real beer, it'll put hair on your back.
 

100% agree. I have none of the above either. Bloody stereotypes.

 

You forgot that you are a bogan because you are an Adelaide Crows supporter!

I drink VB, and while I agree about homobrews, VB is bogan, sorry dude.


Nothing wrong with the dignity of manual labor...or Flight attendants...very prestigious..have family ex air crew.

The man sounded like a Bogan!! If he has a English degree, the boganism must be de-rooted indeed, as he has failed to eredicate telltale vocal and speech traits.

btw, if you want the epicentre of boganism, Cessnock NSW, (have heard some truelife horror stories recently.)

(apologies to an ASF poster who has Cessnock as their location, I'm sure you are an honorable exception)

I tip my hat to you, sir. I prefer to think of it as keeping it real
Calling someone dude? Bogan
 
VB ? None rivals the bogan lager Emu Export (otherwise known as "red death" or "domestic violence in a can"

It is actually the best beer in the world. Most beers need to be cold, export is far better nice and hot, or as the locals say "Kimberley cold", to get the perfect temperature is simple: place block in boot of car, drive to location on a hot day, serve directly from boot. True perfection. One of the rare occasions where cheaper is better, export remains, at certain outlets, $1 a can by the block (stubbies are for poorcuuunts). It has many advantages over other beers:

Cheap

You won't look like a posh wanker

Esky of ice is not needed

Noone will steal your beer at a party

where bogans send their offspring to school

yes, it is a real town - classic

btw - VB is bogan through and through - totally refuses to be palatable - vile s**t

Have to agree. Carlton Draught is much better and only on tap. Terrible in a can just like VB. But Cascade Pale Ale is the best juice going around OZ in my opinion. But yeah VB should be exported just like Fosters Lager. XXXX is much better than VB too.

But hey I'm a twin-head so maybe I'm a little biased. LOL
