Quote:
They have been around for decades, wearing a mullet, black jeans and listening to heavy metal, and now the Oxford English Dictionary officially recognises bogans.
The word bogan has been included in the dictionary's list of new word entries for June, sandwiched between bling and bustler.
The OED, which calls itself the definitive record of the English language, defines a bogan as an Australian and New Zealand colloquial depreciative term for an unfashionable, uncouth, or unsophisticated person, especially of low social status.
The origin of the word is unclear, but it may have originated in Australia.
