豪キャブラリー: Snow Bogan

Snow boganはboganの一種であり、スキーやスノーボードなどウィンタースポーツが大好きで、主に割と甘やかされている裕福である、品位が欠けているうるさくて暴れん坊飲んべオーストラリア人のことです。北海道のニセコや長野県の白馬などでよく見かけます。無知で無駄遣いが激しい人が多いです。派手、眩しい服装で一目で分からなければ振る舞いが身勝手、迷惑行為であるため要注意人物が多い。Snogan(snowのboganとも言う。)日本語に説明すれば、「雪ヤンキー」が良い表現ではないか。

  • Bogan Feminism

    One thing traditional bogan imagery gets wrong is its obsession with men. There is a substantial female bogan archetype.

The sheila is returning to Australian culture, riding on a new wave of ‘bogan feminism’

  • Bogan Pride

    Bogan pride is probably the most important cultural development of the bogan culture. Calling someone a bogan used to be essentially saying: “You’re beneath me.” Increasingly, people started saying: “Yep. I’m a bogan. Got a problem with that?” That is classic cultural reclamation. The same process has happened with many supposedly derogatory identities around the world. But Australian bogan pride has a particularly Australian flavour because it overlaps with: Roslyn Rowen’s research specifically links the positive reappropriation of “bogan” with Australian nationalism and the Australian tendency to celebrate the “ordinary” person.
