Contributor's comments: In Western Australia - Perth region [the word "bogan"] came into use more recently, and earlier the word 'bog' was used to mean pretty much the same thing.
Contributor's comments: Bogan is also used in Western Australia, sometimes shortened to 'bog' (rhymes with log). Besides the flanny shirt, they also tend to wear 'spray-on' (very tight) black jeans and have mullet haircuts. Often also wear thongs (double pluggers) with them, black knitted beanies also popular in cold weather.
bog3
A panel beater's poly filler used to fill dents in cars: Is it full of bog?; How much bog's in it?; Just bog it and flog it (sell it).
Editor's comments: This particular meaning of 'bog' is used all over Australia. See the other two records for 'bog' which show regional usage.
Contributor's comments: I think you need to discuss this word with a national magazine such as "Street Machine" - they regularly use the word "bog" to describe a substance used by panel beaters to fill or reshape damaged car body panels. I grew up on the Central Coast of NSW and whenever we "did a damaged car up" we used "bog".

A lout, lazy individual destined to live off the dole: What a bogo.
Contributor's comments: I've heard this term used to describe council road workers ... especially the group of 8 or so you see watching one other dig a hole.
