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.

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 ?

 


omg are you for real?

Come for a holiday to Adelaide and take a walk down Peachy road or go stand at one of the train stations in Salisbury or Elizabeth.

Even better try and tell one of thse kids they have a mental illness, see how far you get.

On the flip side. I find your comments that "they" the bogans? need help more degrading than anything Ive seen in this thread. 

Go on tell me what I need?

NSW Police - Sydney - Dec 2013

 

In the past 18 months, PTC officers have made more than 3300 arrests and laid about 6200 charges against people who insist on doing the wrong thing on public transport and surrounding hubs.

This is thanks largely to the almost 400 fully-trained uniformed police officers who now work for the Police Transport Command.

 

That is a lot of people arrested/charged. Are you suggesting they all have mental illness/disabilities or are they just badly behaved/anti social (ferals)?

 

Again why turn the threads to mental health/disablities issues?

More than a bit insulting  to suggest people with bad behaviour,anti social habits (no regard for others property) etc, must have disabilities or a mental illness.
