Cashed up bogan or CUB as it is termed in Australia, is a 21st century evolution of the traditional bogan. Traditional bogans wear flannette shirts,
sport mullets and scream at their tribe of snotty nosed kids while living in public housing.
But the turn of the century brought a boom in the blue collar trades such as electricians, builders and the mining industry in particular, and with it these bogans found themselves moving from low to middle income wages. The CUB still has all the personality traits of a traditional bogan -
racist, uncouth, poorly educated with a heap of kids. But the modern CUB has more
money and thus desperately seeks to pretend they are not bogan by buying designer items and expensive things. These items usually include designer hand bags for CUB females such as Louis Vuitton and low brow brands
like PlayBoy merchandise. They usually are mortgaged to within an inch of bankruptcy to show off a brand
new car and living in a McMansion - a poorly made, mass produced house on a tiny
block of land which is huge in floor space to give the
air of wealth.
