You have to be Australian (or Kiwi) to think this is funny. (But see below)
Imagine living in Bogan Street with this definition from Wikipedia “Bogan is Australian and New Zealand slang for a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour are considered unrefined or unsophisticated. Depending on the context, the term can be pejorative or self-deprecating. The prevalence of the term bogan has also been associated with changing social attitudes towards social class in Australia.”
Having said that I just looked up house prices on this street and they range in the $2 million mark.
There are rich bogans and poor bogans I guess. 😀😀😀
I’m sure as we speak they are writing to the council for a change in the street name!!
This is an old part of Sydney and this was probably named 130 or so years ago when the word didn’t mean what it means now!!
This was the first time I’ve ever been to this quite old suburb. I went there with a photography group. Great fun.
Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I might start looking for other street names now!!
Kathy, I’m sure the street was named well before the word came into fashion. But I’m not sure.
I Googled it and there’s actually a town or shire (local government area) called “Bogan” about 540kms (340miles) west of Sydney.
Thanks Rick.
