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. ![]()
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.

Me either. I'll be nice and happy in my little home, in the middle of a quiet FERAL neighbourhood ![]()
All the ferals will be out elsewhere demolishing as much alcohol as they can get their hands on

The original question was are you a bogan........take the test.
Yes, I must be, because I wear my dressing gown outside.
I have on occasion walked through a train looking for a seat.........I dont have any problems, for doing that.

Prefer Jack Daniels over wine
Used to race cars and can actually work on my own...I can weld also!

How many mods are posting on this thread ?
Well, as far as I can see.. you are the only one that has a post moderated.
I am so over you and others telling me what I can and can't post .
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.
Can you explain why it is you and others have a problem with me posting about my 24year old son ?
see posts and queries raised from you and ph early in the thread.
I was giving some reasons which I am aware of ...of what goes on sometimes on trains .
I find it frustrating that people choose to have a problem with my doing so.
When I limit myself to c&p's to try to stay safer ...that doesn't please some either ...but it's not about me pleasing others ...it's not all about them.I would just like to post without all the carp for daring to post .Isn't that a fair thing ?
