    Awesome list Tarshi. :D

    Disagree with this one though...

    Bogan : person who takes little pride in his appearance, spends his days slacking and drinking beer

    Not quite accurate, there's so much more to a bogan than these two things, but they're certainly part of it.

    I'm thinking of writing a book called 'Betty the Bogan Slayer'. Waddayathink?
    Hahahahahahahaha! :smt081
