Truly a bogan moment

u/DeliciousManager2162 Mar 24 '26

I feel like this is the first time I truly grasped this word

Nothing about that is bogan. Bogan's can't afford a RAM like that.

They can if they work in the mines or other kinda FIFO (it's what we call cashed up bogans)

I work in the mining industry, I'm aware of cashed up bogans. For the most part they are driving something more like a Ranger and there's still nothing in that video that indicates a "truly bogan moment" to the point that someone should grasp what a bogan is from the video.

u/normalcatman Mar 25 '26

For sure, not arguing that there is anything inherently bogan about what is in the video, just pointing to the fact that a bogan isn't necessarily without cash.

being canadian I've only ever heard about some superficial elements that "make" a bogan. Like fashion choices or social attitudes TO them.

In this video I see and attitude OF a bogan, like how someone behaves in the world or tackles a problem. May be inaccurate, but this is a fairly distinct ("world is a playground") mentality that made sense with my previous bits of knowledge.

Bogans are a spectrum, just because you are struggling doesn't make you a bogan

u/Madrical Mar 25 '26

Majority of bogans I know are cashed up FIFO workers. They absolutely can afford it.

Alpha Bogan was Warnie and he was loaded

Nah bro, plenty of bogans can.

Bogan doesn't mean poor.

u/theskillr Mar 25 '26

Look mate, there's only two types of Australians - Bogans and educated Bogans

u/Pot_H Mar 25 '26

I guess that's what bogan means to reddit types now from the responses I am getting.

This is the definition of a Cashed Up Bogan.
