A "Bognorian" is a highly complimentary term used to refer to a resident or native of Bognor Regis or anyone who loves the town.
The most respected Bognorians are sometimes referred to as Bucgenorians, after the first community guardian of these environs.
It is said that the highest honour that any Bognorian can be afforded is to be called a true Bucgenorian.
So far 6 distinct categories of Bognorian have been identified:
BigBog - someone who naturally likes to Big up Bognor (quite rare but unmistakably remarkable).
BogBog - someone who can take Bognor or leave it (quite common and may take on many different guises).
BegBog - someone who wants something from Bognor (not uncommon and needs the right conditions to develop the full plumage).
BugBog - someone who is pre-disposed to trashing Bognor (by no means common, but is easy to spot, can be quite noisy).
BygBog - someone who thinks Bognor has passed its sell-by date (quite common and can appear to lack colour, especially during the moulting season).
BagBog - a hybrid transformational from a Bog, Beg, Bug or Byg (quite rare, often adorned with a big splash of colour and exuberance, likely to become more common over time in favourable conditions).
See how many of each category you can spot around town.
There are many, but possibly the most notable, in terms of cultural influence are:
