Bogan
Bogan (pronounced BOE-gan) is someone who drives an old
Commodore, lives in a housing department area, and likes to harrass other citizens.
Bogans are stereotypically considered to be old children (from approximately 15 to 30 years of age). Bogans mature to become yobbos. Low to midrange literacy and intelligence, (80-100 IQ) and above average physical strength are also prominent elements. The Bogan accent is highly distinguishable, being a high-pitched variant of Australian strine similar to "ocker", and the vernacular relies heavily upon truncated words and swearing. Bogans will typically use the phrase "yous" (sometimes spelt "youse") as a plural form of "you", and will modify people's names by adding "azza" (for example Barry = Bazza, Sharon = Shazza).
Bogans are inherently ugly in appearance, some wealthier bogans are actually obsessively vain. Celebrity Bogan men will often appear on hair loss commercials. Many Bogans wear the
mullet hairstyle. Some Bogan men wear beanies or caps to hide their receding hairlines or simply shave their heads. Those with full hair will often still wear mullets or use highlights. Many Bogans use fake tan, visit solariums or sunbake for long periods. It is not uncommon for a Bogan to spend hours at the gym building up their biceps, but are proud of their
beer bellies and rarely practice sit-ups. Some Bogans will even try to expose themselves publicly to acknowledge their vanity. Bogan men are also obsessive womanisers, and will often two-time or even flirt openly with other women in front of their girlfriends without any sense of guilt.
Bogans can also be identified by their thin weak lips. It is a phenomena sociological scientists have yet to explore however it is probable that it began in early childhood when introduced to the ritual of sucking the filling out of hot meat pies during a AFL game. The intitiation into adolescence is signified by the wearing of wrap around sunglasses. These shades are mostly black but some of the younger Bogans go all out and wear white framed sunglasses, a fashion gay men had 15 years prior. Bogans also age very quickly and by the age of 28, flabby jowels begin to accentuate the characteristic thin lips.
Celebrity Bogans are usually from but not restricted to the Southern State (Victoria) where yobboism rules supreme. These celebrities usually sport bad 1960 American corporate hairstyles and sometimes go abroad to cultured countries to host sports events and consequently cause much embarrassment.Bogans on an international level usually come undone as cultural chants such as Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi or pathological obsession with AFL has no stronghold outside of Australian waters
