ACCCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA:

Bogan (pronounced /ˈbəʉ.gn̩/, to rhyme with slogan) is an Australian and New Zealand English generally derogatory slang term for a person who is, or is perceived to be, unsophisticated or of a lower class background. The stereotype includes having speech and mannerisms that are considered to denote poor education and uncultured upbringing. Mostly applied to white, working-class people.

Like the British term chav and the American term white trash, the term is supposedly based on behaviour rather than class alone. It may be contrasted to the term 'povvo', which assumes that poverty as such is worthy of insult.

Further, the stereotype assumes a correlation between cultural practices of particular working-class people (i.e. style of dress, accent, and musical tastes), and anti-social behaviour. It should thus be considered a slur.

While it has been used as a derogatory term, the word 'bogan' is becoming much more accepted, particularly among bogans themselves. Some people now self-identify as bogans.
