There aren't many people out there who are aroused by the smell of burning rubber from a V8 Supercar or who are intoxicated by the crisp, metallic taste of a non-craft beer. Except, of course, the bogan.

Like their redneck siblings in the U.S. and their chav cousins in the UK, Australia's bogan occupies a very special place in the national culture.

And now, inevitably, someone is seeking a "Professional Bogan." According to the advertisement posted on the job website Seek, the candidate will need to provide their own flanno (or flannel shirt, for those unfamiliar with the term) and have at least five years of bona fide bogan experience.

That's not all. You'll need to be "fully sick," "able to count to 90" and be familiar with the risks of running in thongs. Yeah, it's no fun busting a plugga.

Before you start up your VL Commodore or Ford Falcon XR6 (we don't discriminate), you might want to know the job ad is actually an audition notice for Western Australia-based company Bogan Bingo, which runs entertainment events around the country.

Applicants who meet the requirements of having their own tattoo and harbouring an "unbridled love of Ozzie culture" can audition, although you might find yourself having to belt out a cover of AC/DC's "Thunderstuck"or being asked about John Farnham's number one hits. You'll be sweating in your singlet.

A Bogan Bingo spokesperson told Mashable Australiavia email that the ad was posted at 2 p.m. local time Monday, and has so far received 10,000 views and 60 applications. 

Obviously, only deadset legends need apply.
