With ugg boots selling for £150 ($250) on London's high streets, a swearing former prime minister called Kevin and Alf Stewart finally taking out the Gold Logie, you could be forgiven for thinking that bogans have arrived. But such accolades belie our deep-seated fear and loathing of boganness. No matter how many uggs are sold, bogans remain Australia's cultural punching bag of choice.
Strewth, would ya get a load of this stupid academic -
Cultural critic and writer Mel Campbell says the real beauty of boganness is that it doesn't actually exist. After researching representations of the expression in the mass media, she concluded: "There's no such thing as a bogan."
Yes there fuckin' is, sweetheart. You need to spend a little time on this forum!
