British slang for a man
From Wikipedia:
"Bloke" is a slang term for "man," much like "guy" or "dude." It is primarily used in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, and is believed to derive from Shelta.
Generally, the term bloke connotes an older age, so to refer to a younger male, one would qualify it as "young bloke" or similar.
Recently (during the last ten years or so) the term "blokish" as in "blokish humour" has occasionally cropped up. It describes the stereotypical "Men Behaving Badly" type of humour that is acceptably sexist - i.e. expected of such young men - and invariably funny rather than sarcastic or self-ironic. During the 1950s the word bloke was used extensively - dude being unheard of and guy pertaining to Guy Fawkes only - by adults while "chap" was used by schoolboys. It fell gradually out of use in the early sixties and was not really replaced by anything else.
