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.

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.

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


no I wouldn't. I care about people and value human life .I can see what is needed and atm I can see the chances of those in need getting the support they need slipping away and the gap widening .It is upsetiing that this is happening in this Country.Name calling and laughter by those in better places is imo selfish and inconsiderate and not going to help solve the problems this country faces....it will make them worse.Degrading other humans to the point where they are just classed as 'ferals' I find really inhumane,sickening and disgusting.Feral I think of as a wild animal not a human being.

Some of those so called young 'ferals' on the trains may be just young people with intellectual and/or mental health issues who can't find their money to pay their $2 (which they do have and later find) concession train fair ...the worker may not understand the problems and may just go off his head...resulting in the young person freaking out .Understanding rather than labelling one 'a feral' would be more fittingand productive human behaviour imo. Wouldn't it ?

Exactly, maybe we have the meaning of the word all wrong, and those referred to as bogans, are not at all. Smiley Wink

Every thread doesn't need to turn to disabilities and mental illness. We are discussing bogans. Or people with feral behaviour... drinking alcohol downtown at 10am with your toddlers in their strollers is feral... like to see anyone provide a good excuse for doing that.

 

I am not a worker on a train.. ferals don't travel on the train before 9am lol. After a nice sleep in they usually on the midday/early afternoon trains.

You live in the sticks, you dont travel on Melbourne suburban trains, so you have no idea what the young bogans and I didnt say they were feral either, do, or what they are like, they are just young adults.

I dont get that every young person that you mention has to have a mental problem............until you travel on the suburban trains and see for yourself what they are like, saying that they have mental issues is not the way to go...

 

They travel the trains for entertainment for lack of a better word......
