Guest Simon* Report post Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) LOL! That's actually a really good question, don't worry! Will look for a link shortly - sorry still laughing But slightly more "white trash" than "redneck" I reckon Lucan http://www.kiwianarama.co.nz/bogans/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogan http://www.bogan.com.au/ http://www.bogan.co.nz/ Edited October 19, 2010 by Simon* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 White trash, Red neck....Are they different? P.S. "The Great Unwashed" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 Not at all true! Bogans dress in black, listen to Metallica/ACDC and drink Lion Red/DB or premixed bourbon. Wait, what? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 A bogan setreotypically in my opinion: * Listens to 80's rock and metal. * Has a beard, or long hair, or a shaved head or a mullet. * Wears black jeans and faded black t-shirts. * Drives a matt black VL commowhore or similar. * Drinks crate bottles (quarts) or Double brown or similar. * Lives in West Auckland. * Plays guitar or attempts to. * Is named Dazza, Bazza, Gazza, Shazza or Jimi.

Gaz 1061 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 Wear black jeans with holes and a black singlet? Listen to classic hard rock? Drink nothing but bourbon? Answer yes to all three? Then welcome aboard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 A bogan setreotypically in my opinion: * Listens to 80's rock and metal. * Has a beard, or long hair, or a shaved head or a mullet. * Wears black jeans and faded black t-shirts. * Drives a matt black VL commowhore or similar. * Drinks crate bottles (quarts) or Double brown or similar. * Lives in West Auckland. * Plays guitar or attempts to. * Is named Dazza, Bazza, Gazza, Shazza or Jimi. They don't need to live in west AK. But if they do, they are probably the related species known as Westies. Wait, what? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 To be fair, we were part of a subset sometimes referred to as Northshore Westys. Drank the same piss, listened to the same music but wore stone wash jeans and white shirts. An altogether better class of bogan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f.g. 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 LOL!!! thats all really funny!! thanks simon for the links I lol'ed at the great unwashed and when I saw Gaz's .gif the guy moon walking made me laugh for a solid 30 seconds :-) Blackie where I come from there is definatly a diffrance from white trash and redneck... however this whole westie thing... is that area of auckland kinda rough or are you guys just beating up on some of the members from there? good thing I'm not a bogan, I fall (as I have been told) "more towards the preppy with out the douche bag..." to which I replied " ... uhhh thanks?" I have more questions but it always seems like whenever I sit down to ask them I can't think of any... Hope everyone in christchurch is holding up still after this last round... Kinda weird to think I'll be there in a year almost exactly.... thanks again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 however this whole westie thing... is that area of auckland kinda rough or are you guys just beating up on some of the members from there? We are just beating up on some members from here... haha .. nah, West auckland isn't acutally that rough ... its a lot like your standard lower to middle class suburbs. I'm marrying into westism and the missus's family are all westies. Watch outrageous fortune (on torrent) for a good tv version of it all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I'm nearly a bogan! Hence where the term white-trash falls over aaahaha. Also Bugger me I had to laugh at this from the Kiwianarama site. Contrary to popular belief, JD’s nightclub, downtown Auckland, the holy grail of bogan drinking in the 1980s and 90s, did not close after one of it’s patrons died from excessive head-banging. When the price of a can of Lion Red hit $5, bogans just went back to the suburbs in disgust. Edited October 20, 2010 by westy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f.g. 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 ok I've got some more :-) I was just perusing one of simons links and ran across this article which is funny as hell, http://www.kiwianarama.co.nz/winter-what-winter/ and there were some curious clothing references... 1: Sawardi? 2: Stubby shorts (really short shorts I'm guessing, nothing to do with small apendages I hope) 3: jandles (sandeles I'm guessing and why with a J) 4: is being barefoot really a big thing? I know i could look all this up, but it's so impersonal, and besides it will give you all a good laugh at me and I get to have a variety of different explanations :-) Cheers :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swandri - Jacket that keeps you dry and/or warm, mostly checkered design 2. Stubbies - beer cans / short shorts 3. Jandals - you might call them thongs? Sandles have straps that hold your foot to the sole. Jandals do not. 4. Yes Edited October 20, 2010 by Blackie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phatputer 3 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 NZders + stubbies (both kinds) + both jandles and barefoot are typical NZ summer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
