The art of fighting without fighting.

[–]ZeroSobel 149 points150 points ago

Glad someone else picked up on that.

bruce lee was pretty good at the kind of fighting with fighting though

Awesome story. What's a bogan?

[–]dryanyanyan 1114 points1115 points ago

a Bogan is an australian term for a redneck, white trash

[–]el0rg 907 points908 points ago

In Canada, at least where I'm from (Ontario), it has an entirely different meaning. It's a derogatory term for Indians (as in Aboriginal). On par with "Nigger".

Edit: Whenever I see the word Bogan on the Internet, I can tell whether it's the Australian version or the Canadian version by the proximity of the word "cunt."

Another edit: Didn't realize just how localized the whole "bogan" thing was. I'm in Thunder Bay, ON. You can see some examples of it's usage if you google "bogan thunder bay".

[–]sadpanda91 246 points247 points ago

Like the difference between rooting in Australia and Canada. A very important difference.

[–]thoomfish 133 points134 points ago

Australians must find Android users very offputting.

"I rooted my phone the other day."

"I tried to root my phone the other day and now it's rooted"

[–][deleted] 101 points102 points ago

Australian here, and I can confirm that sentence makes complete sense

[–]ManicMilky 4 points5 points ago

I see no problem with this at all.

[–]mikehunnt 8 points9 points ago

After having a root I rooted my phone, when I tried to use my phone to look at someone getting a root I found out my phone was rooted. Root.

[–]pterofactyl 54 points55 points ago

To us, that could mean you fucked it or ruin it

[–]superfusion1 7 points8 points ago

why not both?

[–]pterofactyl 9 points10 points ago

trumpets and rejoice

[–]the_raptor 19 points20 points ago

Nah "root" works fine in a computer context. The amusing one is that we usually say "route" the same as "root" except we pronounce it properly* for "router" and don't say it like "rooter".

* Row-ter vs Root-er.

[–]JimmyHavok 187 points188 points ago

How is an Aussie like a warthog?

He eats roots and leaves.

[–]Nato317 133 points134 points ago

sounds more Aussie if you say Wombat instead of Warthog. 'straya!

[–]bushel 277 points278 points ago

fucking, eh.

[–]I_WANT_PRIVACY 16 points17 points ago

kinda like supporting. like if you want an athlete to do well, you're rooting for him.

[–]DarumaMan 32 points33 points ago

Ah just like in American! I thought it was Canadian for moose killing or beard growing.

[–]spakattak 38 points39 points ago

Do ya wanna root? Root for who?

[–]me135 11 points12 points ago

Or Roots brand clothing.

[–]misterschmoo 40 points41 points ago

Imagine our disappointment aged 8 when the teacher said we would have to watch a tv-movie series called roots.

[–]pygmy 25 points26 points ago

Roots Kids clothing may raise eyebrows in Oz

[–]AGoatOnYourDesk 7 points8 points ago

What's the difference??

[–]Unconfidence 12 points13 points ago

When I went to Perth, my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed walking around with our "Got Root?" shirts.

[–]kilgoretroutt 53 points54 points ago

I'm from Ontario as well and I can safely say that I have never heard this word before. Obligatory apology.

[–]Defiant001 20 points21 points ago

Ontario here too, never heard it either..

[–]dasberd 33 points34 points ago

I'm Canadian and I have never heard that word. Is it pronounced boo - gan or beau - gan?

[–]Kristyyyyyyy 42 points43 points ago

Beau-gan. And the gan rhymes with can. Or more technically it's beau-gn, cause we're lazy cunts.

Edited for political correctness.

[–][deleted] 101 points102 points ago

It's pronounced BOOO-URNS

[–]meAndb 29 points30 points ago

I like the way Snrub thinks!

[–]ItsPronouncedTAYpas 23 points24 points ago

I was saying boo-urns.

[–]insideman83 31 points32 points ago

I'd say it's more of a term for white trash than a redneck. Redneck has rural connotations that bogan does not share.

[–]Idescribetheanimals 7 points8 points ago

Explains the confusion if the lady he was with was either his sister or girlfriend. Still probably both.

[–]bishman 161 points162 points ago

[–]dasberd 49 points50 points ago

That answered so many questions

[–]feared_rear_admiral 28 points29 points ago

this will answer even more questions: http://thingsboganslike.com/

go down to the first couple of entries, there is entirely too much on there now. the particular type of bogan in the video, the flannelette wearing mulleted drunkard is something more out of the 80s and grunge era 90s. the new bogan is more the Jersey Shore type, with big sunglasses, a big southern cross tattoo, cap (optional) and things shaved into the side of his head (thus ruining it for everyone).

the fashion is debatable, though there is a certain continuity. what's more characteristic is the bad attitude with sexist/racist overtones, quite aggressive and rude. for good examples, just google things like Cronulla Riots and flag wearing cunts at the Big Day Out.

the unfortunate carry-over is that they tend to ruin just about anything they explore culturally. they tend to congregate at music festivals, ruining it for everyone who is actually there to appreciate the music.

they also tend to be drunk all the time

[–]TragicM 2 points3 points ago

Absolutely. They are the type of people who turned the Big Day Out from a fun music festival to a wasteland of average music, chubby chicks in bikini tops and short shorts so high you wonder if they one day just fall into two pieces, and shirtless drunk guys who manage to ruin any part of the day you are enjoying by running up and shoving their hand up your skirt as you stand peacefully chillin out to a band.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

I can't thank you enough for this.

[–]cbleslie 6 points7 points ago

Oh man. This is amazing. Aussie ska. I had no idea...

[–]Banana_Party 4 points5 points ago

I watched the whole thing. no regrets.

[–]Jet51 159 points160 points ago

Think of a redneck crossed with a chav with the whiniest Australian accent.

[–]Muffinabus 87 points88 points ago

Getting deeper into this, what's a chav?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]JimmyHavok 61 points62 points ago

Amazing caricature, it truly catches the symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome that mark the true chav.

But not enough Burberry, he's nearly naked.

[–]DomoInMySoup 81 points82 points ago

So like an American Wigger?

[–]CurlyNippleHairs 75 points76 points ago

I prefer the term, "Wegroe"

[–]SeveredBanana 67 points68 points ago

"Wafrican-Wamerican"

[–]velkyr 21 points22 points ago

Thank you for being politically correct. I am the son of the head douche of Wigeria.

[–]DarumaMan 12 points13 points ago

Wigger? Huh? Did you somehow horribly misspell the derogatory term for... OOOOOoooh. I get it now.

[–]chicagogam 29 points30 points ago

he's kinda cute...like sock monkey with an attitude

[–]pysgodfach 21 points22 points ago

Alleged to stand for "Council housed and violent". That's not actually the origin of the word, but it covers the meaning fairly well.

[–]TrolleyPower 4 points5 points ago

And it also encapsulates the resentment of the working class that the word is loaded with.

[–]Ambrose51 7 points8 points ago

British redneck... at least that's my understanding.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

More white trash than redneck. Many rednecks tend to be gainfully employed. Chavs, not so much.

[–]CACKENBOOLS 15 points16 points ago

I thought it was more analogous to "wigger"

[–]TheMafioso 111 points112 points ago

I'd like to thank Ja'mie from Summer Heights High for introducing me to the word "bogan" and a lot of other Australian slang. And I'd like to thank Jonah Takalua for being one of the funniest TV characters of all time.

[–]dlaso 48 points49 points ago

How popular is Summer Heights High, etc, overseas? Does the humor translate well?

[–]pokered 41 points42 points ago

it's fucking hilarious, i don't know how popular it is on a broad sense but i watched the series in a packed dorm in the US and everyone loved it

[–]Gary_Oldman_Shouting 28 points29 points ago

EVERYONE!!!

[–]PieOfTheDecade 11 points12 points ago

I loved it. Thought Angry Boys was even better. Chris Lilley is a genius. I don't think either show was a huge hit or anything but I'm really hoping HBO will air whatever he does/did next.

[–]Grithoof 90 points91 points ago

It reminds me of that scene in Spiderman 2, I'm not a huge fan of the movies but I love that scene. Where Peter Parker got the shit knocked out of him by the Doctor and all of the people on board surround him. His mask has been torn off and laying on the floor of the cart. You hear someone say "He's just a kid." When he regains consciousness the people help him up and one child says, "We won't tell no one." That was my favorite moment in the movie, my favorite moment in all of the superhero movies I've seen. It just really made Peter Parker a person more so than any teenage drama or emo parasites.

[–]Bloedbibel 25 points26 points ago

That scene makes me want to cry every time.

[–]TheCrazyMonk 2 points3 points ago

The cynical side of me believes that sooner or later somebody on that subway would be down on their luck and in need of cash. The solution? Sell the secret of the beloved Spiderman's identity. Wouldn't it be tempting? Then again I also believe the one of the boats from The Dark Knight would have blown up the other one so I just don't trust people.

As long as the man representing the symbol isn't wearing hockey pads, I'm cool with it.

[–]Nyarlathotep124 62 points63 points ago

But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in his 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.

[–]BAWLing 8 points9 points ago

The symbol formerly known as a man?

[–]mancko 71 points72 points ago

The party lurched and swayed, sending everyone reeling, except for Thor and except for Arthur, who stared, shaking, into the Thunder God's black eyes.

Slowly, incredibly, Arthur put up what now appeared to be his tiny little fists.

"Want to make something of it?" he said.

"I beg your minuscule pardon?" roared Thor.

"I said," repeated Arthur, and he could not keep the quavering out of his voice, "do you want to make something of it?" He waggled his fists ridiculously.

Thor looked at him with incredulity. Then a little wisp of smoke curled upward from his nostril. There was a tiny little flame in it, too.

He gripped his belt.

He expanded his chest to make it totally clear that here was the sort of man you only dared to cross if you had a team of Sherpas with you.

He unhooked the shaft of his hammer from his belt. He held it up in his hands to reveal the massive iron head. He thus cleared up a possible misunderstanding that he might merely have been carrying a telegraph pole around with him.

"Do I want," he said, with a hiss like a river flowing through a steel mill, "to make something of it?"

"Yes," said Arthur, his voice suddenly and extraordinarily strong and belligerent. He waggled his fists, again, this time as if he meant it.

"You want to step outside?" he snarled at Thor.

"All right!" bellowed Thor, like an enraged bull (or in fact like an enraged Thunder God, which is a great deal more impressive), and did so.

"Good," said Arthur, "that's got rid of him. Slarty, get us out of here."

Reminded of this by your story.

(For the uninitiated, that's a picture of an Arwing from Star Fox in Kokiri forest in Ocarina of time. It's an in game object that's unused, but can be seen via gameshark. It flies around and shoots green lasers at you. When it dies, it crashes and explodes like the arwing in Star Fox 64.)

[–]JustAnOod 434 points435 points ago

I did a similar thing in Vegas but I've always felt guilty for it.

I was at a club with four other women and two guys, and we ended up being approached later in the night by a man who asked us if we wanted to go to a VIP table. We joined him and his friends and were all having a great time. Free booze, plenty of space. The guy with the table was hitting on my friend pretty hardcore, but he seemed fine so we all left her alone. Well, when it comes time for us to leave, the man grabs my friend's hand and we all file out of the club to go back to our hotel rooms. VIP Guy joins us. We walk out into the light of the casino and all the women notice it at the same time -- VIP Guy is covered in cocaine, all over his nose, clothes, and mouth. His eyes are bloodshot and he's got stains all down his shirt. I look down and he's got blood caked on his hands (seriously) and his fly is unzipped. He pulls out his wallet and I see him pull out a bag of pills, which he tries to discretely shove back into his pocket. I make eye contact with my friend who had been talking to him in the dark all night, and she's clearly losing her shit. This cat was shady, shady, shaddddyy.

During the walk back to the casino, I watch my friend struggle to say something. It's clear we need to ditch this guy, but she's not saying anything, and the two guys we were with were keeping quiet -- in retrospect, out of intimidation. This was not someone you wanted to mess with, and we began to realize just how high and fucked up he was as we were walking.

By the time we got to the hotel room, he was getting aggressive -- with my friend, with the guys. And yet no one said anything; it almost felt like we had gotten in too deep. I was getting nervous, and so was my friend, but no one stepped up. When we sat down on the couch to smoke and unwind, VIP was groping my friend and whispering in her ear. I didn't know what else to do, so I yelled, "Let's play truth or dare!" I thought I'd get shut down, but the game started, and after a few actions, it got to me.

"VIP Guy!" I said, with faux enthusiasm. He turned his attention away from my friend for the first time, looked at me, and my whole body was on edge. Please, I thought, Pick Dare.

And he did. And I faked thinking for a moment before saying, "Go out into the hallway and drop your pants." He looked at me, said, "Oh, so you want to see what I got, baby?" and I nodded eagerly. He stood up, walked to the door, and I followed. He walks into the hallway, pulls his pants down, and I see his peen wagging in the breeze right before I slam and lock the door.

I turned back around and all of my friends are staring, open-mouthed, at me. They started to slow clap. I still feel guilty to this day. He might have been a good guy, I don't know. He might have had fine intentions and was just having a good time. But my gut was telling me otherwise, and my friend was more than relieved that someone had handled it.

[–]IArgueWithAtheists 99 points100 points ago

Paragraphs helped, and this was a great story. I don't understand the guilt though. It's a dangerous world. Gotta do what you gotta do.

[–]DrChoco 39 points40 points ago

I get the guilt. Even though the dude was shady, I would most likely also feel a little bad about shutting the door on someone like that. It's not something most people do often, you know?

[–]LynzM 11 points12 points ago

[–]SRU45 46 points47 points ago

Yea, I expected there to be at least one knock on the door. Something.

[–]BlueScreenD 182 points183 points ago

I don't think you should feel guilty about this. That man was a threat to the safety of your entire group, especially the woman he was hitting on. You diffused that threat in a way that didn't result in anyone getting hurt. Think about how you'd feel if you hadn't taken the opportunity to get rid of him and your friend had been raped.

Rules of politeness don't apply when personal safety is at risk. You did right.

Edit: Except that you should have gotten rid of him wayyyyy earlier.

[–]denizenKRIM 15 points16 points ago

If this was in a hotel room, technically you guys weren't going anywhere. So...what happened next? Surely the cokehead just realized what had happened and must have reaction in some form.

[–]JustAnOod 41 points42 points ago

Sorry, didn't think to include it. Not that interesting. He screamed once, incoherently, at the door and then I saw him walk down the hall through the peephole. He got on his cell phone (I'm assuming he wasn't talking to himself, that it was a cell phone, but he was out of view so who knows) and lingered a bit. He yelled at whomever was on the line for a couple minutes, most of it I couldn't really understand, and then he left.

[–]kryonik 13 points14 points ago

I would have just said "I need to go to the cage to cash in some chips" or something, and alerted one of the cashiers.

[–]JustAnOod 38 points39 points ago

In retrospect, it should have been handled WAY before we got back to our hotel, but it was one of those moments when you realize that you're in too deep and everyone was waiting for everyone else to handle it until it was too late. But you're right -- that would have been a good way to do it.

[–]EmmaTwatson 12 points13 points ago

You handled the situation in absolutely the best possible way. You should feel awesome.

[–]sinembarg0 50 points51 points ago

not everybody combs the whole picture for minuscule details. Some of us just start reading the story.

[–]jb2386 5 points6 points ago

That could be any "Brisbane, Queensland", really.

[–]Geronimouse 88 points89 points ago

Kudos to the original writer of this story, Angus. IRL he's the maddest dude and if anyone deserves recognition for this genuinely glorious tale, it is he.

Also credit to OP for being a shameless but brutally efficient karma thief. (Isn't even facebook friends with the guy) ;)

[–]nfsnobody 8 points9 points ago

How do you know they are not Facebook friends?

[–]Mythros 17 points18 points ago

Geronimouse is friends with Angus IRL. He can see Angus's friendlist.

Source: I am too.

[–]Jetpack123 8 points9 points ago

i also am and can rectify this statement

Thanks for the link to his blog, an awesome read.

As someone who loves computers, "his 256mb brain" part made my sides hurt.

The Raspberry Pi can run BoganOS these days, I suppose.

[–]brycedriesenga 4 points5 points ago

Bogan-Os, look for them in your local grocery store cereal aisle!

256 megabytes used to be a hell of a lot. Like a hard drive in the 386/windows 3.1 days.

I love how the whole post he censors all of the curse words, but then at the end he randomly leaves "MOTHERFUCKING" uncensored.

[–]MotherFuckingCupcake 43 points44 points ago

It's obviously a special case word.

[–]jeckyljeckyl 116 points117 points ago

Came across the word 'Cunt' and instantly realised this happened in Australia.

[–]LightspeedChump 63 points64 points ago

Where I come from - cunt is a commonly used replacement for the word "person". Literally.

edit: I'm from Scotland.

[–]szchm 25 points26 points ago

Our countries are very similar, y'know. Well, apart from the climate, the wildlife, the accent, the political history, the geography and the average number of distilleries within driving distance.

But as far as drinking habits, love of insults and culture of violence go, we're practically the same place.

[–]aradraugfea 46 points47 points ago

Could have been England. I was reading it all in my best mental cockney.

[–]drew-face 83 points84 points ago

the key indicator that this happened in australia is the term 'bogan'.

[–]Incondite 90 points91 points ago

The first time I came across this word in a reddit post was when somebody posted that they had to chase a bogan out of their house. I thought it was some sort of supernatural being at first.

[–]Kristyyyyyyy 28 points29 points ago

And both of those are hilarious mental images. Thanks for the chuckle.

[–]annjellicle 5 points6 points ago

I always have to convince myself that it doesn't say/mean "boggart".

[–]Churba 12 points13 points ago

And the part right under the blanked out name that says "Near Brisbane, Queensland" - The only other cities named Brisbane are in California(named for Brisbane, Queensland) and Brisbane, North Dakota, which is long abandoned.

[–]PillMill 120 points121 points ago

I gave Shit-Skull the finger out the window

What a badass

[–]oO_THE_PUG_Oo 55 points56 points ago

SO BRAVE ... but seriously I would get a huge adrenaline rush just giving him the finger. kinda sad really.

I wonder if as I get older pictures of text will become more or less common. More older people with bad eyes, or more younger people who for some reason take pictures of text. I mean we already have a really good method of conveying text, I'm using it right now, and in fact the OP used it to create the title.

[–]The__Regulator 41 points42 points ago

Whenever the bus hero said anything I read it in the TF2's sniper voice.

[–]fro77 21 points22 points ago

"Calmer than a monk on morphine..." and "...I'm pretty sure people hugged"

Now that's writing.

[–]InvertedB 44 points45 points ago

I feel proud to share a city with this man.

[–]yesativity 14 points15 points ago

Yeah Brisbane

Dude went straight up Bruce Lee on that guy.
