Sticky: Ask the Bogan

[Reggie]

Just thought of a good one...

Why is your grandmother always dieing, or your are getting married tomorrow? It seems each time I see footage of someone who has missed their flight. Granny's funeral is the next day, or you are getting married. Is it just something bogans do?

And secondly, more of an request. Would you mind spending the $12 to check in a bag rather than taking half your life's possessions as carry on, stuffing them in row 2, and then walking back to seat 523.

I've seen more suits and wannatoprentendabe suits or wouldabeiftheycouldabe suits do this than Bogans. True bogans come from places where if your gear isn't with you, it is likely to be nicked (this means stolen for you non bogans), thus we keep our gear above us, or under the seat in front (of you, so we can still stretch out)

If the place is spelled coughET why do people raise their eyebrows when I mention the place?

Same reason we Bogans laugh everytime we hear the weatherperson talk about Whakatane

Question to Bogan:[/B]

Since you spend most of your day in a sedentary position (driving your Holden, watching sports on couch, at the footy) it is necessary to wear just tight, tight, tight, jeans? Are you afraid the rise in popularity with the skinny jeans amongst Gen Y is potentially making you cutting edge and stlyish?

Hi Misha you asked 2 questions that is question in its plural form

Of course we have to wear really tight jeans, this is the way we can show and define our bums to our prospective mates, a bit like peacocks.

We feel privaledged that the younger generation wishes to copy our sense of style, but we have no idea why people where there jocks (undies or boxers for the non bogans) showing. As a bogan this only happens when we are bending over stealing rims of the car of some cashed up clown who leaves his car in Rocko overnight.

Question to Bogan # 2:[/B]
Is there a difference between the tracky dak Bogan and the skinny jean bogan? (I appreciate the stubby shorts are summer wear)... Is it like the bloods and the crips? Are you friendly or are there some major turf wars over the local Liquor Land?

There is no such thing a tracky dak and skinny jean bogan. Thats akin to saying you have the dress QFFA, the skirt and blouse QFFA and the xlacks and blouse QFFA. We are all bogans. The jeans are our work/smart casual/semi formal/formal and black tie clothing. Tracky Daks are our casual and weekend clothing.

OK questions that only a real Bogan would know the answer to.

When drinking at the Lesure Inn on a Friday night;
which drink would you be drinking (premixed Jacks and Cola or premixed Jimmy and Cola) and why?
would it be aluminium or glass?
what sport would you be involved in?
whats the closest fast food joint?
where would you hook up with the boganetts?

It must be an inflective verbal delivery. I went through that phase as well.....all normal.

Whilst I don't know where the Lesure Inn is, but I can answer based on PJ's at tuggies...

1 - Jacks - Because that's what everyone else is drinking and the girls behind the bar often has tight fitting shirts advertising jacks...
2 - Glass until 9pm, then you'll be forced to use plastic cups
3 - You'd go from pool tables to smoking to pool tables... (or hang around the pool table trying to pick up and ignoring the terrible noise that's coming from karaoke)
4 - For my local bogan drinking establishment, macca's
5 - Married man, so haven't tried of late, but IIRC there are some booths in the back corner where the light ain't so good...

Just reading this article in the Sydney Morning Herald:

Lonely Planet Guidebook Lays Into Perth

It seems we have a new abbreviation to add to AFF.

One of the by-products of the mining boom has been the rise of the Cashed-Up Bogan (CUB) – young men with plenty of cash to splash on muscle cars, beer and drugs," the travel bible said.

Cashed-Up Bogan's will now be known as CUBs

I find that sort of stuff in the SMH hilarious. They don't quite grasp that if you learn a trade at 16 and work hard you will be sig richer than if you do a PhD etc until you are 40 and become a cultural theorist who writes articles on 'CUBs'.

oh I've know about CUBs for years. I thought everyone knew about them.

Not to be confused with another type of cub.

Swings and roundabouts of course. Those holding PhDs will still have functional backs when they are 40.
