Is it the same as a Pikey or Chav in the UK?

I’m not British, but I believe they’re not the same.

Here a bogan is someone who dresses poorly, wears spray-on (very tight) black or stonewash jeans, has a mullet hair cut and drives a Holden Commodore!

The term bogan (pronounced /ˈboʊɡən/, rhyming with slogan) is Australian and New Zealand English slang,
usually pejorative or self-deprecating, 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 and uncultured upbringing. ‘Bogans’ usually reside in economically disadvantaged suburbs (often outer metropolitan) or rural areas.

Above meaning is in Wikipedia

I haven’t known about this word, so funny grin

Another good one is ‘a yob’ or ‘yobbo’

A yobbo is a very uncouth person, that means they are very loud and not polite but not necessarily poor or from uneducated background, just loud and maybe a bit rude or swears alot, a bit rough.

I’ve just found out that a Chav is similar to a bogan, so there you go!
