Bloke: an informal English word for man, similar to chap, guy, feller/fella/fellow,geezer.
Often thought of as an Australian word as it is commonly used over there. The Aussie Bloke is a stereotype of a typical Australian Man, i.e. loves sport, beer, bbq's.
It's used in UK and Aus. in the same way guy and dude are used in America
According to a local newspaper in the Midlands, the word originated in the Black country (an area near Birmingham, UK), but I'm really not sure how much truth is in that!

Typically, "man" or "guy". It's origins are unknown, but it is unlikely to have come from the the Midlands in the UK, as suggested by one user. It is used commonly in the UK and Australia, although it has usage in Canada and the USA too.
It's earliest recorded usage was in Cab Calloway's 1931 recording 'Minnie The Moocher' where he sings "She messed around with a bloke named smokey, she loved him..." It has been used more frequently in Kanye West's collaboration with the UK's Estelle

the act of going out into public in search of attractive males ("blokes"), with the intention of potentially meeting a suitable mate. The act is often conducted along with the consumption of alcohol.
Much as men may go "creeping" or "wenching" for young women, women may go bloking for young men.

I'm sure my ex is out there creeping for girls right now. I might as well get drunk and go bloking and see if I can get laid, too.
My friend and I went shopping and bought sexy new clothes, so we decided to dress up and go bloking that night.

The blokes is not a people or a thing, it is a force. A truly unstoppable, irresistible, wrecking ball of a force. Once the blokes have gained traction and momentum there is no stopping it. It is said that the blokes will bring about the end of times as we know it.
“Did you hear the blokes were in Napa last night?”
“I don’t suppose that had anything to do with the massive brawl outside bedrock?”

Now this bloke, he's always down the pub with a pint of ale in one hand, and a fag in the other or in the caff with a full english and a cuppa with four sugars. His teeth are stained and rotten. He's in boot cut jeans with a brown belt and a nicotine stained jacket. Every time he laughs he sprays his mouthful of old bar peanuts and wheezes til he's red in the face. His beer belly ranges from dad-bod to rotund. He either ignores his kids, is a cunt to them (think jay's dad in inbetweeners) or beats them.
