Description: Shows a 'bogan' youth whose mother has knitted him a new jersey with very long sleeves. He complains but she explains to him that he will grow into it. His father whose arms almost reach the ground walks past in the background carrying a can of beer. A 'bogan' is Australian and New Zealand English slang, usually pejorative, for a person who is, or is perceived to be, of a lower-class background. According to the stereotype, the speech and mannerisms of 'bogans' indicate poor education, cheap clothing (singlet, jeans and no shoes are the sterotypical bogan outfit) and uncultured upbringing. Bogans usually reside in economically disadvantaged suburbs (often outer metropolitan) or rural areas. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
