    Mate, I used to hang out with this cool Bogan bloke and his wife in Eagleby, QLD. They were one of the most straightforward, honest people I've ever met! The guy had exactly the same sunnies!!! 😂

    Nothing wrong with being a bogan, there is plenty of decent bogan sorts out there.
    I work in transport and we call each other bogans as a term of endearment.

      I would also contend the assertion that the term is always derogatory. I've never met anyone who I thought was decent that hated bogans.

    Corio and Norlane in Geelong Victoria is bogan city. The bogans there are either on drugs,alcoholics ,single mothers who have several kids to several different partners and spend a lot of their centre link money at the bottle shop and the pokies and then go to their local church to get their daily evening meal

    I’m proud to be called a Bogan. I’m from Western Suburbs and definitely working class. Between my church and state School I received a brilliant education which was completed by my training as a nurse by brilliant, dedicated women was exceptional. I love the BLUE SINGLET. It reminds me of my parents generation who returned from WWII and built the houses we lived in. Why has Australia created this pecking order? I suppose it must be better than the religious segregation that I knew as a child.

    The term bogan originated in Melbourne and migrated to Sydney as another term for westies . its got nothing to do with the bogan river in nsw its got to do with the bogan moth which populates the hills west and south west of melbourne . hence bogan westie .but the rest of what you said pretty much explains it

    The strange thing is so many people do not realise they are working class or bogan. If you work for someone else you are working class. If you own your own business you are not.

    • @Wesda
      @Wesda  Рік тому

      Yes that is correct. If you own a business you would be considered 'capitalist class'. I would say there certainly are bogans who are not working class (business owners who have some bogan traits), and working class people who are not bogans, or not presenting any bogan traits. But for the purpose of the video, I am generalising the majority of bogans are working class, which I think is true for the most part.
