Bogan - urban, Aussie, redneck. Generally terms for people who live in town, and doesn't really know a great deal about the world whilst still knowing how to look after themselves. Someone unsophisticated.

What's sophisticated?

I spent about 5 minutes on trying to think about what it is to define "bogan" that I really couldn't differentiate it between what people would consider "sophisticated". I suppose anything low brow would attract "bogans", whilst high brow things attract mainly "sophisticated" people.

The people who vote for the right, they are uneducated, backward thinking, religious, racist and bigoted.

It's a term used by people who think their pooh doesn't stink. They have an over inflated view of themselves and their role in society. Also it shows how hypocritical they are because they are being prejudicial and marginalising to people they have never even met. It's just like calling somebody an abbo.

i agree big dave and i went to uni and got honours and have an IQ of 160 but i love bogans. they are way more interesting then urban elites who dont know how to ride horses, ride motorbikes or f^^k properly. in fact, urban elites only know how to wank and have wankfest talkathons. F^^k them, i also went to the states and found the redneck states far more friendly then the north eastern elites.

hehehe, this should be an amusing and illuminating thread. If you are poor, unsophisticated and not well educated but with a tinted skin, the left will fawn all over you, forgive every transgression and earnestly explain your every faux pas and apologise on your behalf.

However if you are poor, unsophisticated not well educated but white, the left will sneer and laugh at you.

It is an amazing thing to watch the unconscious hypocrisy and double standards the left routinely display.

A plus, go to the top of the class

You’ve got to be pretty good to give a bigoted response like this and not see the bigotry in it. Not that I’m surprised.

I haven't & usually don't use them term "Bogan". I refer to people who fit the bogan profile as "FERALS". And they are Australias fastest growing commodity. Having babies & large flat screen TV's .... now I wonder who & what made them synonymous.
