| 545030 | 2007-04-28 18:19:00 | Hey Joe. Tis early in the morning here....too early for me to try and descibe what a Kiwi bogun is. Maybe later if others don't beat me to the punch. Do you have "white trash" over there? Maybe think our version of what I believe you call "trailer trash"? Anyway, others will chip in. That pic is of an Australian. You getting us and them mixed up again???? Cardinal sin mate....especially as we in World Cup year. I dunno what constitutes an Aussie bogan...but doesn't look anything like ours! :D Now, where did I leave that coffee.....:stare: |

| 545032 | 2007-04-28 21:26:00 | Never thought to WIKI it, but when I clicked that link (^), I got this: "Bogan (pronounced /ˈbəʉ.gn̩/, rhyming with slogan) is an Australian and New Zealand English slang term, generally pejorative, for a person who is, or is perceived to be, unsophisticated or of a lower class background. According to the stereotype, the speech and mannerisms of "bogans" indicate poor education and uncultured upbringing. The term is mainly applied to white, working-class people." |

| 545033 | 2007-04-28 21:32:00 | That's not a bad summation, though it does fail to point out that most boguns drive Holdens. A great coupling.:D |

| 545034 | 2007-04-28 21:46:00 | If a Holden is a FORD, then I agree..... | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 545035 | 2007-04-28 22:04:00 | Ouch! :D Holden = GM. Which has recently been surpassed by Toyota as the world's largest car maker. And to be honest, Toyota make better cars than Holden or Ford. |

| 545036 | 2007-04-28 22:05:00 | Just rename Bogan to Redneck. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 545037 | 2007-04-29 01:33:00 | Does the Wiki mention the clothing preferred by bogans? Usually black jeans, with a black T-shirt. They tend to congregate in specific suburbs (for instance West Auckland), but have been found outside their habitat on occasion. Typical bogan entertainment on a Friday/Saturday night consists of drinking copious quantities of beer and doing burnouts in an out of the way street in their hotted-up (they think) V8s Owning a new Holden for a bogan is almost unheard of - typically they drive cars a minimum of ten years old. If you see a bogan in a new Holden, it's probably stolen.... :D |

| 545038 | 2007-04-29 02:03:00 | It is rumoured that they may be vaguely related to Vogons: Vogons are extremely ugly, extremely officious, and generally not much fun to be around. They emerged from the seas of the planet Vogsphere, and gave up on evolving there and then. |
