The biggest give away is if you see someone wearing Flannel – they are usually Bogans, second give away is if you spotted it in Queensland (where most bogans reside, or at least where most people consider them to reside lol)

A Bogan is kinda like an Aussie hillbilly!

Getting it, so essentially a badly mannered hillbilly, probably from the countryside, sometimes friends with sheep and other farmyard animals, sometimes friends with a can o beer?

Do you get female bogans? Do they also have beards and shorts and wear flanno?
