Australian bogans are proud to be Australian and bogans.. good on them. They are real. Ferals are a different species I suppose.

 

The article in the opening post is just a lighthearted story for a newspaper to produce at this time of the year.

yes it WAS

totally agree am

those types of apps are all in fun

bogans like me dont see a class divide. I am what I am, take it or leave it. I dont care what others think about the way I look or the wat I talk.

iza why the emphasis on the word was?

Human beings are not a different species ...just because you or anyone else calls them feral.

I don't see it as a class thing either.

Bogan is in the MacQuarie (Australian) Dictionary.

As I mentioned, mostly it is the badly behaved people on the train around here that are called bogans.. maybe we should call them ferals instead.

Of course humans aren't a different species   because someone calls them ferals or snobby etc.

Homo sapiens  is the scientific name for the human species. 

If anyone is proud to call themselves a bogan, what is wrong with that?

I certainly wouldn't go up to anyone and call them one.

The Macquarie also offers various state-based alternatives including "bevan" and "bev-chick" (Queensland); "bog" (WA); "booner" or "charnie bum" (ACT); "chigger" (Tasmania); and "scozzer" (Victoria).

I've never heard of any of these.

I have heard Bevan being mentioned in QLD.

A good indicator on Australia Day.

I guess that you would have called people at some stage of your life feral?

You must be a different species than the rest of us.
