Lowest class, usually concentrated in poorer suburban areas of Australia. 'Thick-heads', yet super infated egos, bogans have very limited vocabulary, yet can be seen scorning others that use language or social skills that the bogan does not possess. Also, any extended period of non-comprehension, will lead to branding as UN-AUSTRALIAN (The bogan with super-inflated ego naturally sees themselves as the quintessential Australian.)
The bogan interprets others avoiding them (because of their "general unpleasantness") as fear of the bogans imagined POWER and MASCULINITY.
Their understanding of the world comes from the images imprinted on their visual cortex.
Do not put a bogan in a position where an opinion of philosopy, arts, literature etc. is called for.
Leave quiety and swiftly if you encounter the bogan, and if pressed, speak in the third person about cars that radiate "Bogan-ness". Utes are "working-class" and therefore to the bogan "higher-class".
{ situational construct }
A bogan if blindfolded and released in the centre of Beverly Hills, would stand aghast, and all of the amalgam of conflicting ideals inside the bogan mind, would cause instantaneous implosion, possibly creating relativistic space-time distortion, thus compicating things further.
If cornered further by "the bogan" which mistakes you for a friend:
--talk sex, drinking bourbon etc.--
Again in the third person, omniscient.
Observation, pointing, and commenting is best.
Leave A.S.A.P.,
party person 1:
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."
party person 2:
Fuck, I love Nietzsche
bogan: (party crasher)... what the fuck are you dumb pooftas talking about? I going to have to teach you to be a REAL MAN.

Often seen sporting southern cross tattoos and collecting dole payments, bogans strive to live in plasterboard houses on a block where they have the freedom to park their Skyline and approximately six other disused car bodies/caravans. In their natural habitat, bogans consume VB* or, at weddings, XXXX Gold* and smoke "Winny Blues"*. Favoured attire includes board shorts, wife beaters and occasionally shoes, and very rarely a collared shirt.
*Winfield Blues are an Australian Brand of Cigarettes Favoured by tradesmen and the aforementioned bogan.
XXXX Gold and VB are Australian varieties of beer (very loosely speaking) and are rumoured to contain sweat and dirt.
Bogan 1: "Oi! Are youse goin' down the pub later?"
Bogan 2: " Yeah aye, might flex it down in the skyline a bit later. Got no petrol but. Gotta get down to centrelink aye. Chuck us me winny blues Mum."
Bogan 1: "Here y'are love. I'll do some snags for youse tea."
