    Believe it or not, the "mullet" is coming back into fashion in Oz.

    If you've been around long enough things start to repeat.

    "Caleb Overdijk, 19, explained the mullet brought people together and transcended class or social standing." Do ya reckon?"

      I was referring to the, in your face, antisocial element that usually, but not always, avail themselves of public housing and handouts. Any right you may think you have to private property, quality of life or safety means nothing to them.
      The loud music, fighting, barking, revving, at all hours. The intimidation, drug dealing, feral kids, you name it, it's all their God given right and the neighbours and cops be damned.

      Ps I'll take your "snobby professionals" over that, anytime.

      Ps 2 Rocky, I'm envious of you. You obviously haven't had the pleasure.

      I think 'bogan' is far more a state of mind than an address or a dress code. I spend half my weekends in tracky dacks and ugg boots.

        When I re-read my comment I thought it sounded a bit "virtue signalling" and I like that a lot less than I like Bogans.
        I agree with OCD that there are two types and the ones he refers to are the "Feral Bogans" and you really don't want to be anywhere around them.

        One of my 'favourites' is the Wheelie Bin - chocked so full the lid doesn't come within a foot of a close, and the excess spilled on the footpath and the road.
        You walk past the next morning and the bin is gone but all the 5h1t is still on the footpath and the road. It will be there until it blows away.
        It must be a type of selective blindness.

          Rocky, like you I have been mulling over the same thing. In my original post I may have confused bogan with feral. Though they may share some traits, a bogan may be tolerable, but a feral cannot be.

          So, if I have insulted bogans by attributing to them feral attributes, I apologise.
