    A fascinating beast. The majority of the species are hideously repugnant and unintelligent, and yet they manage to breed in ever-increasing numbers and populate an area known as the outer west. It is quite common to find five or six offspring in each family group, often with a different father for each new baby.
    Their habitat consists of a weatherboard or brick-veneer dwelling and is characterised by an early-model Holden or Ford in the driveway surrounded by a group of males discussing why the carby is stuffed and the results of last nights footy (a primitive gladiator-like spectator sport enjoyed by most bogans).
    The female of the species, while smaller in stature, is far more loud and aggressive than the male. While the males tend to be very friendly and congregate with other males, the females spend most of their time in supermarkets and shopping malls, using a shrill high-pitched call to discipline their children and contact other females.
    Males and females rarely interact socially except during breeding season, which is otherwise known as Friday night. During this time, females are allowed to enter the male-dominated area known as the pub and display their impressive coloured plumage to a prospective mate.
    Herein lies an intersting phenomenon. Males will often fight over a particularly attractive female and she will mate with only one male, while some less attractive females have been known to have several partners simultaneously.

    Ahhhh. The wonders of nature.

      In Tasmania, Australia there are 2 breeds of bogans, theres the typical male aussie style bogan: who wears wife basher shirts (singlet tops) with many torn holes, tight stone wash jeans or some other pants, usually either wearing one or tied around the waist or slung over there shoulder a flanelette (flannie) shirt or holden/ford tops, and a pair of old blundstone boots (blunnies) and usually drives and old Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon. And swear the faces off, usually every second word is f**k. And are commonly seen with a can of VB in there hand.
      Then theres the 2nd type usually teens who are seen decked out in dada, wutang, fox racing, eminem plastic crap, and the baggy wutang, fubu, emineme brand etc jeans and usually topped off with a cap of some kind, thinking that theyre so damn cool but theyre not. The female version is jeans that are so tight like you would not believe, have their hair pulled back and slicked down with a whole tub of gel except for 2 front bits which are pulled out and are the same length as the rest of their hair (commonly called bogan bits) and wear dada, wutang, fubu, fox racing etc, jumpers 10 times too big for them and wear whole stick of eye liner on each eye and way too much foundation and are seen pushing prams around followed by a colony of young children (all to differnt fathers)

          Lets get this straight, Bogans are Australia wide they are in every nook and cranny, and we love them because we can take the piss. Sure the women bogan has 6 kids to 6 different fathers, loves her alcohol and ciggies, has a different fashion sense, swears like a trooper, and is a general embarassment at the supermarket but at least we can look on and have bit of a laugh. As for the bloke well he loves his VB, ciggies/dope, flannie, mullet, beanie, holden or ford top, holden or ford car, has an excellent grasp on the english vocabluary, and has possible missing teeth, but who is going to look at him sideways when hes at the pub or he wants that car spot you want?
          They are a national treasure and we should be proud, for our taxes pay for their everything.

The male bogan holds the postion of authority in a bogan household that can often see as many as 5 or 7 children.

              A doyen of Australian culture, similar to the American redneck. Easily spotted due to penchant for sporting mullet haircuts, wearing black jeans and flannel shirts, and driving big old cars such as Valiants, Falcons or H-series Holdens while listening to AC/DC or Metallica.

                    those who have 10 kids running around their feet, smoking on a cigg, swearing their heads off, every second word is the F-word, with a very distinct voice tone. Wearing cheap, old worn clothing, all whilst walking into the bottle shop or the tobbacconist.

                      The usual piece of shit who thinks that he is a valuable member of society for leaning out of his beaten up vehicle, (Because he lacks class, and the knowhow to get a job, and thus a higher quality car than a beaten up Ford Falcon which sounds similar to a lawn mower) and screaming out GO SON!
                      Other phrases apparently evident are such terms as: Cmon Son, Youre not HARD enough!. These sexist and somewhat smelly individuals can be seen anywhere in a Pub, boasting about how drunk they got the week before. The only danger that a Bogan will ever encounter is one involving drowing in his own vomit, yet despite all evidence, some favourable qualities must be apparent to some people. These people are clearly Boganettes, and love to be abused by sexist, chauvanistic, sport loving, unintelligent, and overall stupid men. Australian society has taken a downfall, and the Bogan population are the image that is often represented as Aussie Culture. Well, this misconseption can be set straight, get these beer-swiggers of our continent, they are of no value.

                        Also known as [ferals] or trailer trash, bogans are usually people of low socio-economic status, that live in cheap housing and drive old Holdens and Fords. They swear, are often unemployed and spend their dole on beer and [rollies]. Male bogans wear flannies, old jeans and are missing teeth. Female bogans usually have a tribe of [snotty nosed], ungroomed kids being dragged along while she smokes a cigarette pushing a pram. Her 6 kids usually have 6 different fathers, none of whom pay child support as they are all unemployed no hopers. She often has a bad home [dye job] on her hair and sports oversized Dada clothes that belong to her bogan partner. She will frequently scream obscenities at her children in public places.
                        There has been a new phenomenom of bogan in the last 10 years: the [middle class bogan]. Usually the male is a [tradie] who makes ok money. Being bogan at heart, they attempt to not look bogan with a new car and a mortgage. The female middle class bogan gets her nails and hair done. The male bogan hasnt got a mullet, but usually a shaved head. But middle class bogans are still racist, stupid, and like their booze.

                          A type of Australian that is stereotyped as bogan can usually be defined as [trailer park trash] and other low life names like [Leigh], they can usually be found on street corners with a large group of people wearing [jean shorts] and thongs holding a stubby of vb.

                            Lowest class, usually concentrated in poorer suburban areas of Australia. Thick-heads, yet super infated egos, bogans have very limited vocabulary, yet can be seen scorning others that use language or social skills that the bogan does not possess. Also, any extended period of non-comprehension, will lead to branding as [UN-AUSTRALIAN] (The bogan with super-inflated ego naturally sees themselves as the quintessential Australian.)
                            The bogan interprets others avoiding them (because of their general [unpleasantness]) as fear of the bogans imagined POWER and MASCULINITY.
                            Their understanding of the world comes from the images imprinted on their visual [cortex].
                            Do not put a bogan in a position where an opinion of philosopy, arts, literature etc. is called for.
                            Leave quiety and swiftly if you encounter the bogan, and if pressed, speak in the third person about cars that radiate Bogan-ness. [Utes] are working-class and therefore to the bogan higher-class.
                            { situational construct }
                            A bogan if blindfolded and released in the centre of Beverly Hills, would stand [aghast], and all of the amalgam of conflicting ideals inside the bogan mind, would cause instantaneous implosion, possibly creating [relativistic] [space-time] distortion, thus compicating things further.
                            If cornered further by the bogan which mistakes you for a friend:
                            --talk sex, drinking bourbon etc.--
                            Again in the third person, omniscient.
                            Observation, pointing, and commenting is best.
                            Leave [A.S.A].P.,

                              Often seen sporting [southern cross] tattoos and collecting dole payments, bogans strive to live in plasterboard houses on a block where they have the freedom to park their Skyline and approximately six other [disused] car bodies/caravans. In their natural habitat, bogans consume VB* or, at weddings, XXXX Gold* and smoke [Winny] Blues*. Favoured attire includes board shorts, wife beaters and occasionally shoes, and very rarely a collared shirt.
                              *Winfield Blues are an Australian Brand of Cigarettes Favoured by tradesmen and the aforementioned bogan.
                              XXXX Gold and VB are Australian varieties of beer (very loosely speaking) and are rumoured to contain sweat and dirt.

                                [Antipodean] description for a person who likes [AC/DC], beer and [Fords] or Holdens. Named after the Bogan river in Australia. The term is widespread in New Zealand and Australia but there are bogans in all corners of the earth.

                                  the poor cousin of ricers.
                                  bogans usually tear around in their ancient and beat up commodores and falcons. the male of the species is usually a league/[afl supporter], and sports a mullet or atrocious hair and flannel, while the female carrys her children around, communicating with offspring and other bogans in a high pitched screech, painful to the ears of humans. they all swear like troopers, smoke like chimneys, drink like fish, and have no regard whatsoever for other people. commonly [on the dole].
                                  a bogan is an imported species in australia, they are considered a pest, similar to cane [toads]
