He sounds too boganish to be a 'typical wog' but I live in Sydney.

Woahhhh I don't know what kind of bogans you know but I actually don't see not one bogan in that house. Maybe it is because of living in 2 diff states though cause he sounds like someone I'd speak to in my average day (me being a wog myself)

Don't know where you're from but Travvy sounds like a typical Melbournian wog! He's the perfect representation of all the 20 something year old males in the northern suburbs... I love it lol

I'm a wog, but I assure you he doesn't sound like one. He sounds very suburban Australian, though still NOT 'bogan'. Think, Valley Girl, but Australian version. Wogs have an ethnic twang in their accent (like the characters in Wog Boy) - and Travis doesn't seem to have it?

Oh, Ryan sounds like a surfer Aussie dude.

Obviously the characters in wog boy are older and probably born and raised in Greece (I may be wrong, I absolutely can't stand that movie). Travis seems to have been born and raised here, so I don't mean he has a very strong woggy overseas accent, just a 20 something year old Melbournian suburbs woggy accent (you may not know what I mean unless you live here). It might be cause that's mainly who I associate with so that's why I see him like this.
Yeah I agree Ryan probably has the most bogan accent but it's not that strong compared to some of my neighbours lol :happy:

What does "wog" mean?

It's a term usually associated with those who came here from Europe, so mainly Italians, Greeks, Macedonians etc. some also use it referring to Lebanese, Turkish etc. but that's not what it originally was.

Yeah, I can see that. Travis sounds very 'suburban'. Some young Italians here in Sydney sound like him. It is 'woggy' meets 'bogan' for me... Lol. John'06 sounded exactly like him - he was of Portuguese/Brazilian descent.

Oh, about Ryan, I meant he sounded like a chilled surfer dude. It's far from Bogan. :biggrin:
 
Travis definitely sounds very Northern suburbs Melbourne 20something 'wog'. Haha. He's also got the right overbaring kind of attitude. Sounds like a few of the guys at my bfs workshop but they've got a fair amount of intelligence in comparison.

Actually he doesn't. More like a cocky footy player just like Ed. This isn't about ethnicity and while you may like it don't generalise. Many northern suburban wogs in Melbourne are educated and speak properly. A yobbo is a yobbo and it's not race based.
