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.

i thought i’d made a witty reply to this thread but my stupid ipad  didn’t post. Im gobsmacked my throw away post has attracted  so much in depth agonizing over a new id, and how to stop this type terrible action by a newcomer.

 

Personally I couldnt give a rats who the new id is or if they are another id, yada yada yada. lifes too short to even give it a cursory comment and thats all I did.

don't bogans and your so called ferals have any problems then  ? 


no actually, we are quite happy. Stop being so bloody condescending and stuck up


sorry Chuk, I didn't realise that I wasn't allowed to talk about my son 


yeah ok sure you were...You need to start owning what you do and say and stop the back peddling. Its just rude to label someone with a mental illness. You have read the thread, you have seen me and carl say we are bogans and yet you go on about "them" needing help and having intellectual disabilities. 

And to answer your question no I wouldnt call the ferals feral I value my life..literally. Doesnt stop me thinking it and Id say they know their behaviour is feral, but what makes a feral what they are is they dont give a rats

Most DON'T. The people we were discussing don't. The majority of the 3300 people arrested in Sydney for anti-social behaviour on public transport probably didn't either.

Surprisingly, the rest of the world doesn't revolve around you and your son, whatever his needs may be.
This discussion proceeded mainly in the direction of the hundreds, perhaps thousands who choose a lifestyle remeniscent of feral animals, many of those being hooked on the generational welfare mentality, as per the geographical examples highlighted by Chukky earlier.

In answer to your question, if referred to as feral to their faces, the response is usually quite "feral" in behaviour. Most around these parts have no intellectual or other disability, just a lack of self motivation to live a more "up to your standard" lifestyle.

Very insulting in my opinion, saying that they all have some sort of disability or mental illness, to do the things they do.......not everyone has to be sick to do anything, you are just grasping at straws now and I dont think that is fair, Iza.
