bogan check

A bogan check is the act of auditing someone's behaviour, wardrobe, or opinions to confirm — or jokingly call out — their bogan credentials. Think mullets, VB tallies, Ugg boots with trackies, and strong opinions about V8 engines. Whether used as playful self-deprecation or gentle ribbing of a mate, the bogan check has become a staple of Australian social media humour, often in the form of checklists that people score themselves against with surprising pride. The higher your score, the more you own the title.
