Why bogan?

I dont know if you are from Oz or NZ but to me (being an aussie) the term bogan is not one i would have used.
Just for some background info:

The term bogan is Australian and New Zealand English slang, usually pejorative, for a person who is, or is perceived to be, of a lower-class background. According to the stereotype, the speech and mannerisms of "bogans" indicate, poor education, cheap clothing (singlet, jeans and no shoes are the sterotypical bogan outfit) and uncultured upbringing.

The term is a close regional equivalent to the British term Chav, Irish term Skanger and the North American term White Trash. However the term 'bogan' is occasionally used with some affection in Australia/NZ, whereas those corresponding terms are not.

Basically its not a word that has many positive connotations.

P.S.
The game was great!

hehe we're Aussie and the term Bogan Surf was meant to be funny. All my surfer friends are "bogans". I grew up on the Gold Coast so bogan wasn't as much of a derogatory term back then.

thanks for the feedback though.

I'm an artist with my fingers in way too many pies.
