In a shameless nod to 'Stuff white people like', some colleagues and I have started writing a blog with more meaning to the average Australian, and those who dislike them.

http://thingsboganslike.wordpress.com/

Please do visit and pass the link on, because I actually think the site will become good enough to gain a bit of a following. I wouldn't plug it on here unless I thought it'd deliver genuine goodness for you guys.

Merci

Also, a facebook fan group thing, that will tell you when there are updates, and what topics they're on.

Most of the stuff white people like rip offs are crap but this one is really well written. I enjoyed reading what is there so far.

#3 – Tramp Stamps

19 10 2009 It’s not news that a typical bogan is impulsive, vulgar, and eager to acquire gravitas and respect through superficial means, but it’s an important part of why they have such a strong affiliation with artless tattooing. While there can sometimes be a blurred delineation between male and female bogan behaviour, nevertheless there remains some sort of desire for the female bogan to present herself with feminine elements. This is often manifested in the alarmingly liberal application of cheap cosmetics and female fragrances, along with apparel that betrays abundant information about her physique. After initial confusion as to how the female bogan could acquire tattoos while still retaining some semblance of femininity, the solution was found: tramp stamps.
cathy-pablicos-tramp-stamp1.jpg
The tramp stamp is a tattoo on the small of the female’s back, typically between 4cm by 4cm and 10cm by 10cm, though some tribal specimens have been observed that cover the entire rear span of the muffin top. The female bogan seeks not warrior symbols such skulls, flames, or sporting team logos, making the list of acceptable designs quite short. It includes dolphins, butterflies, and love hearts – images that deceptively suggest that the female would make a good mother. Another favourite is Asian lettering. In a notable departure from her usual discrimination against Asian people, she embraces their alphabets to convey lofty ideals such as hope, friendship, and loyalty. Tribal patterns are also permitted, though typically less angular and robust than those found on the male.
Why the lower back? Possibly as a display of plumage whilst getting seen to from behind, but more likely as a misguided attempt to be discreet. When the female bogan observes herself in the mirror, she typically only sees the front of her body. Lacking the self-awareness to realise that anyone standing behind her is observing the other side, she forms the opinion that she has found the ideal way to augment her appearance without sacrificing her perceived likeness to classier women. Also problematic is the female bogan’s tendency to wear ill-fitting clothing, exposing large amounts of back real estate every time she bends over to belt her recalcitrant children.




Made me laugh soupofficial a must read for all Bogans & Hillbillys!:D
 
Very funny site :D

#5 – Boost Juice
On first glance, healthy eating is anything but bogan, but – massive amounts of sugar aside – Boost Juice ticks all of the boxes for the 21st century bogan prototype.
Purchasing a cup of brightly branded juice is a perfect way for the bogan to smash this lingering sense of nutrition guilt, while feeling a sense of connection to the elite.


Janine Allis, Founder and CEO of the internationally successful Boost Juice chain, became the first female director of Hawthorn Football Club after an invitation to join the board in February 2006.

Obviously she is helping to tap in to the huge market in the outer suburbs.

Three words for you: creative baby names.

For a tribe that slavishly follows the rat-tail or mullet of the bogon in front of them, when it comes to naming their sporn, they insist upon divining the most 'creative' moniker possible.

I tender but one horrid example, which is the very apotheosis of this phenomonen.

Taipan. (I heard that on the Frankston line 3-4 year old boy.)

I'm guessing it's not after the James Clavell book, but rather the snake or the dude off Gladiators.

I have less an issue with that as I do with what might be considered a sub-variety of that phenomenon: Creatively Spelled Baby Names.

Now, I'm a massive fan of the Roughnut, but ever time I read the record I sit and wonder to myself just what were his parents thinking when they inked that "y" in there. Unfortunately, the phenomenon has only become more common, the use of y's and x's or other oddities where they just shouldn't be, in order to be "different" and "unique" without actually sounding different.

This annoys me more than naming kids after animals, nations or weather phenomena because at least those are unique identifiers that are spelled correctly. The misspellings (which, to keep this little rant on topic, I observe are more common amongst those of the bogan persuasion) are instead more reminiscent of a form of teenage attitude in english, either lazy and uncomplicated or desperately attempting to be a special unique snowflake. Now, in some cases, this might be eminently excusable; especially if we're focusing our discussion on the bogan element. Bu,t in too many cases, there is no excuse.

Oh yes, that a big part of the whole stinkin' phenomenon too. Eg Jaxxon.

The whole field of creative baby names/spellings etc is a disturbing window into their psyche.

I recall a bogan woman shouting at her lagging snotty-nosed kid in a local Safeway once...

"D'artagnion! Get here!"
 
Amazing.

Does 'flouro' warrant its own post?

The British equivalent of the Bogan is the Chav, whose dress sense, taste in music etc is best summed up in this video:

Nice work, guys.

Glad that JB and myself could assist with the baby names.
 
On the subject of names that Bogans like..

Back in 2007, wifey and I had a sick little daughter that warranted us going to the Royal Childrens Emergency unit.

Turns out our little girl wasnt too sick, but had some strange measle like spots.. So we faced a longish 2-3 hour wait.

Well, there was this young 23 or so year old chick lying fast asleep across 4 seats whilst her 2 boys (about 6 and 8) ran rampant on all the interior play equipment. The nurse confided to me that she came in once a week or so with some bogus ilness, then slept in the waiting room, knowing that the hospital was safe for her kids.

I digress...

The boys were your classic billy Ray Cyrus Bogans, with mullets that were a sight to behold... Imagine a full mullet, WITH a rat-tail plait.

They were smashing everything, and screaming at the top of thier lungs.... Really, it was like watching sport, as the 40 or so parent in the RCH waiting room were glued to these 2 boys (and trying to stop thier kids going anywhere near them).

At one stage, they ran up to thier mum, and thew a matchbox car at her....

She awoke...

And Yelled..

"PHOENIX"
"MEMPHIS"

"Shut the F**k up!!!! Im F**cking sleeping!"



I swear, 10 people in the waiting room BURST out laughing.
 
Thats almost as good as the toothless tattooed women in the collingwood jumper on the train a couple of years ago telling her kid off "TARKYN!"
 
Wow, small world...

Been all over this site for months, circulating classic reads to mates (ie.. Chrisco Hampers, etc).

I never really venture into the Mustard Pot (shame on me...), so very happy to see there is a solid Hawthorn connection to this golden site.

Well done, thanks for the amusement!!
