bogans

Uncouth Australian types

Bogans are unsophisticated or uncultured people, especially in Australian and New Zealand usage.

The term carries connotations of lower-class taste—cheap beer, mullet haircuts, flannel shirts, and loud behavior.

Like redneck or chav, bogan can be affectionate self-identification or class-based insult depending on speaker and context: The bogans were out in force at the concert.
