Bloke information


Bloke is a slang term for a common man in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

The earliest known usage is from the early 19th century, when it was recorded as a London slang term.[1] The word's origin is unknown, and though many theories exist regarding its etymology, none are considered conclusive.

In Australia, a bloke is a unique masculine archetype associated with the country's national identity. The "Aussie bloke" has been portrayed in important works of art and associated with famous Australian men. "He's a good bloke" literally means "he's a good man".
