Are You A Bogan? Take This Test!

DOES your nickname end in 'azza' or 'o'? Was there some Jim Beam under the tree this morning? Does your ideal weekend involve slouching on a couch with an esky of beer in front of the footy?

 

Do you regularly use the word, 'top' to describe something as good? Well, hate to break it to you, but you're a bona fide Australian Bogan. At least according to this new app, the Bogan Test, designed by Simon Hubbard.

 

Instructions for use: Download app for 99 cents. Use liberally on friends and family. Post the humiliating results to social media immediately.

 

The test is a series of 100 questions which cover a whole range of topics. For example, bogan names: Is there a hyphen in your first name? And, are your kids named after precious stones? Lifestyle: Does your house have wheels? And is there a bathtub in your backyard? Or even fashion choices: do you wear tracksuits in public without exercising? And the list goes on…

 

The bad news, according to Mr Hubbard, is that once you've received your score there is no way of going back. In other words, you can't un-bogan yourself.

 

"Sorry, but the [inner Bogan] will always come out every now and then. Like a drug addiction, you're never completely cured – you just have to manage and control it! Or, you can just accept and embrace your Bogan traits," he said.

 

He also said that while most Australians would like to think we're getting less Bogan, our true bogan selves will never be too far away.

But don’t just take his word for it. Give yourself a warm-up run on the test! Answer the first twenty and post your score below. And just for the record, I got 16/100.

 

1. Are you named after a car, motorbike or fashion label? eg. Mercedes, Harley, Chanel
2. Is there a bathtub, washing machine or couch in your backyard?
3. Have you ever mowed the lawn and found a car?
4. Do you think bin night is every night? (i.e. do you leave the bins out all week?)
5. Have you appeared as a neighbour from hell on A Current Affair?
6. Do you go outside to use the toilet?
7. Do you stand in your front garden and drink beer?
8. Have you spent more money doing up your car than what you paid for it?
9. Do you wear your bathrobe outside?
10. Are thongs your primary footwear?
11. Do you have a Southern Cross tattoo?
12. Have you ever brewed your own beer?
13.Do you smoke like a chimney?
14.Have you ever been arrested without a shirt on?
15.Do you parent in public (loudly)?
16.Were any of your children the result of a conjugal visit?
17.Are you a Collingwood supporter?
18.Have you ever been in a Lowes commercial?
19.Have you ever worn the Australian flag as a cape?
20.Do you like walking through train carriages?
 

If you answered 'yes' to any one of these questions, then you're a Bogan too, sorry.

I guess I'm a Bogan. Smiley Happy

Iv'e been known to wear my dressing gown outside and have in the past brewed my own beer (for ex-hubby). I've also walked through train carriages.

Australian bogans are proud to be Australian and bogans.. good on them. They are real. Ferals are a different species I suppose.

 

The article in the opening post is just a lighthearted story for a newspaper to produce at this time of the year.

those types of apps are all in fun

bogans like me dont see a class divide. I am what I am, take it or leave it. I dont care what others think about the way I look or the wat I talk.

Human beings are not a different species ...just because you or anyone else calls them feral.

I don't see it as a class thing either.

 

Bogan is in the MacQuarie (Australian) Dictionary.

 

As I mentioned, mostly it is the badly behaved people on the train around here that are called bogans.. maybe we should call them ferals instead.

 

Of course humans aren't a different species  Woman LOL because someone calls them ferals or snobby etc.

 

Homo sapiens  is the scientific name for the human species. 

 

If anyone is proud to call themselves a bogan, what is wrong with that?

 

I certainly wouldn't go up to anyone and call them one.

The Macquarie also offers various state-based alternatives including "bevan" and "bev-chick" (Queensland); "bog" (WA); "booner" or "charnie bum" (ACT); "chigger" (Tasmania); and "scozzer" (Victoria).

 

I've never heard of any of these.

I guess that you would have called people at some stage of your life feral?
