Ockerism refers to the behaviour, attitudes, speech patterns, and cultural mannerisms associated with the 'ocker' — the archetypal rough-and-ready, unsophisticated Australian male. It encompasses things like blunt speech, larrikin humour, a suspicion of pretension, and a certain performative ordinariness. Ockerism can be celebrated as authentic working-class Australian identity or critiqued as a kind of anti-intellectual machismo, depending on the speaker. The concept gained cultural prominence in the 1970s alongside characters like Barry McKenzie and Paul Hogan's Crocodile Dundee persona.
