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.

I was shocked to see a pm posted on the public forum.

I would like to know what the other 80 questions are in the bogan test. I am not going to pay 99c (?) to find out though.

No, it's a bogan cat desperate for a feral female.

doesn't everyone have that friend that is all ways negative...........you know the one you try to avoid

How many do I need to be a bogan?
I've ticked nickname azza, bathrobe outside (or in my case flannel pj's 🙂 ), bath (and washing machine tub as fire pit) outside, mowing the grass and finding a car
but in my defence I didnt put it there and the place was a jungle when we bought it and there were car parts all over the place amongst the blackberries and ivy....
lol, I cant remember the rest, but I'm pretty sure I've qualified.
