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 can understand that, but this thread was about a fun poll about bogans, not people with disabilities. It was meant to be lighthearted, not personal, not an in depth discussion on how people can be misunderstood by the general public.

Re: Are You A Bogan? Take This Test!

i dont think you much about ferals or bogans 😄

You can "detest" something all you like. I also "detest" being told I have a mental illness because Im proud to be a bogan but that wont stop people like you saying it

Carl, OK ,So ...help me out here.I can't mention my son  just like anyone else might mention their children?...is it because he is disabled, mentally ill ? Why ?


It would appear you're the only one bringing him into this discussion about ferals and bogans. Obviously you must consider him to be one, then associate all other ferals and bogans with disabilities.
The discussion never was about your son, and it's very unfortunate that you somehow took it personally and linked this wide ranging discussion, and narrowed everybody's comments down into your personal situation.

I agree that it appears that way ...

Thats nice. Did you not notice I am not the only that queried/wondered why  you would bring your son into this conversation. Or do you just like to target one person?

 

Carrying on as you do about your own personal home circumstances in multiple threads (totally unrelated to the discussion) ruins the threads.
