My very first name was Doomping_Rocket. One day, my brother who is a lot younger, probably when he was about 5, burst into my room in the morning and said he had a dream about a doomping rocket. I was like, what the fuck is a doomping rocket? Turns out it is a rocket that bounces sideways across the moon in a 2D fashion (My brother has a good imagination...). As I played for a bit on the Aus server when it was still alive, my ping was really shitty, it was anywhere from 100-800 and as I discovered what ping was, I realised that I did in fact, have the ping of doom. Then I just called myself Rocket from then on, up until about 6 months ago where I called myself Centrelink. In Australia, Centrelink is a government funded institution kind of thing that helps people get a job, and people that are disabled, have lots of children they need to raise, medical problems etc. etc. So every thursday or something, people go down to Centrelink to recieve their benefits. Although, you may think, meh, that's fair, these people need help with money and the government is giving it to them. Nope. To anyone else in Australia Centrelink's a Joke. Every Bogan and his dog come down in their Pimped out Holden Commodore Shitbox car to get their benefits because they sit on the couch, watching the footy all day. The people who get the benefits don't actually use them to raise their children or buy food to feed themselves, they just wait until cheque day and then go bust it all on smokes or alchohol. I just thought this was a funny name because its such a joke in Australia.
Definition of a bogan: A fascinating beast. The majority of the species are hideously repugnant and unintelligent, and yet they manage to breed in ever-increasing numbers and populate an area known as the outer west. It is quite common to find five or six offspring in each family group, often with a different father for each new baby.
Their habitat consists of a weatherboard or brick-veneer dwelling and is characterised by an early-model Holden or Ford in the driveway surrounded by a group of males discussing why the carby is stuffed and the results of last night's footy (a primitive gladiator-like spectator sport enjoyed by most bogans).
The female of the species, while smaller in stature, is far more loud and aggressive than the male. While the males tend to be very friendly and congregate with other males, the females spend most of their time in supermarkets and shopping malls, using a shrill high-pitched call to discipline their children and contact other females.
Males and females rarely interact socially except during breeding season, which is otherwise known as Friday night. During this time, females are allowed to enter the male-dominated area known as "the pub" and display their impressive coloured plumage to a prospective mate.
Herein lies an intersting phenomenon. Males will often fight over a particularly attractive female and she will mate with only one male, while some less attractive females have been known to have several partners simultaneously.
Or This: A lower class inhabitant, usually of South-Eastern Australia. Generally 'dim-witted', bogans are well know for having poor and vulgar language and typically found in rural areas or outer, lower class, suburbs. A male bogan can often be seen wearing old attire typically a 'wife-beater' (singlet), Australian rules football jumper, or a flanel shirt. Hair cuts are typical of those seen in the 80's/90's with a common style being the 'mullet'. A male bogan's intrests are in the Australian style 'ute' (utility vehicle), Australian rules football, and the consumption of beer. The female bogan typically wears tight pants and with attire typical of the 80's/90's. Often refered to as 'darl' and 'sheila' the female bogan often attracts the attention of fellow bogans by calling an abbreviation of their name in a high pitched shril. The male bogan holds the postion of authority in a bogan household that can often see as many as 5 or 7 children. The female bogan is called upon by the male bogan only for dinner, beer and intercourse.
If you think Bogans sound funny, here is a whole TV Series and a movie called Housos which basically depicts the whole of western sydney.
This is the Trailer for the movie but you can find the 2 seasons of it on youtube:
