The “Vapes Wall” area of the highway approaching Melbourne
O
It’s like one of those padlock love bridges but for bogans.
P
At some churches people leave their crutches and wheelchairs after claiming to have been cured. This could be people finally quitting their last vape….or thry could just be trash people littering.
X
I feel like it would be both even if they are quitting
T
They have this in Montreal at The Oratory. People claim to walk the large staircase and have rejuvenated strength at the top. It’s really a beautiful property. I’m not religious but it was built by a dedicated group no doubt.
S
The Oratory (was “The Shrine” to the locals) in Montreal was where Brother Andre lived and worked. Many claimed to go to him to be healed in the first half of the 20th century and the collections of crutches and canes are from people he “cured”. He was made a saint so the Catholic church accepted that these were “true miracles”. More important (to me at least) was that although he became locally famous and somewhat revered, he still lived as a simple monk.
U
God I live in Verona and I fucking hate that half of the bridges (and not only them) are covered in love locks, they’re just unsightly on a fucking Roman/Medieval building
G
Buy a good bolt cutter and start cutting them away. Turn in metal for recycling and profit 🙂
U
They already remove a grate they have set up specifically for the locks Don’t know how frequently, but I guess they might get somewhere around 50-100 locks a day from that place alone
G
Free money bro, go get busy lol. “The honest guide” YouTube channel from Czech Republic already did this exact same thing in Prague and encouraged locals to do it too.
I
Better yet, take up hobby lock picking and use it as practice!
J
A lot of em, you just need a rake and jiggle that shit open
T
[Well, hot damn! Finally a use for all this jigglin’!](https://youtu.be/2oHV-ZKocEk)
A
I live in Verona, New Jersey and none of the small bridges in my town have any locks on them. :-/
R
Well that proves it! Verona, nj is prettier than verona, italy
G
Why do you think so many Italians moved there?
I
[For those who don’t know what Bogans are.](https://youtu.be/vmL72sgVdAQ?si=e9AKFWCXV0s265xm) And see [here featuring a young Dave Grohl.](https://youtu.be/qA8gJoT5yl4?si=HD-B9BnTt0BtMQd5)

Taken from the description of the music video on YouTube: They are everywhere… in every county, state and suburb… they are the hidden menance that lurkes in the backwaters of nations…. Bogans… They are also known as Chav (England) Dres (Poland) Ned (Scotland) Scanger (Ireland) White Trash (United States and Canada) Skid (United States and Canada) Bogan (Australia and NZ) Redneck westie (Australia & NZ) gogan (goth/bogan combination) Trailer Park Boys (Canada) yobbo – hehe Yobbo (also Australian) Gronk
A
The Russian gopnik should be included in that list.
G
Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada uses the term “skeet” to denote this, also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeet_(Newfoundland)
G
When did “baywop” fall by the wayside?
M
Trailer Park Boys is a TV show, we generally use rednecks or hicks here.
P
Degens
K
Boots held it down. The Ginger is the one who defiled it.
F
ALLEGEDLY!
C
From upcountry. Allegedly
S
White trash is closer to bogan now that the red necks all have fancy boats and trucks. And hicks are just broke rednecks
B
Tokkie/Flodder (Netherlands)
D
In Northern Ireland we have spide.
J
Trailer Trash are White Trash with less money/inheritance.
L
> gogan (goth/bogan combination) Does [Stewart’s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FppMNMPqwy4) crew count here
C
Wigger should be removed, that is totally different.
W
If you enjoy the term yobbo, then I suggest this [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiHdpAVIHgo&ab_channel=CarbieWarbie)
M
TIL the word “bogan”.
S
Means redneck in Australian, apparently
C
_Not really_ but I guess the connotations are similar.
S
What’s the difference?
C
Bogans are usually city dwellers, not from the country. They are not necessarily poor. They generally dress in metal band tee shirts. That’s all that’s coming to mind right now.
A
Imagine a man with a dirty mullet that’s rarely washed. Red skin that’s been torched by the sun and forever burnt. A plain blue singlet that’s shoulder straps are very thin because the beer belly has stretched it beyond its limits and some short football shorts or cargo shorts. The bloke probably has a long neck, which is slang for a large bottle of beer, most commonly VB. Teeth are option and sunnys may be worn but are generally really really small and fully mirrored.
H
ok so redneck then
S
But not from the country. So, just white trash.
I
So… an Australian?
A
This guy fucking gets it.
_
[Bogans – Old Nick Uni Revue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNvkCVvhIvg) I always likened them to the chavs in England.
T
Rural and poor are not prerequisites to being a redneck.
D
That’s the worst description of bogan I’ve read in a hot minute.
G
Shit. I’m a bogan 😭
L
Speaking as a descendent of rednecks, they’re not limited to the country. That’s more of a hillbilly or hick thing.
T
Except padlocks don’t have batteries in them and also stay where they’re placed. One is a strange tradition and the other is just plain litter.
F
Batteries are not plain litter, they are toxic litter.
S
So many spare batteries!
