A euphemism for English-speaking person. Used by French-Canadians to describe their English-speaking counterparts, especially those living in the Canadian province of Quebec.
It is considered derogatory, despite the fact that the term is a direct adaptation of the neutral English term "bloke;" i.e.: just an average guy.
It is perhaps the counterpart term to "Pepsi" (or "pepper"), which Anglophones occasionally describe French-Canadians, especially in Quebec, is a "Pepsi," (because of their perceived ignorance about sound nutrition, and their alleged penny-wise preference for the upstart Pepsi over Coca-Cola, back when Pepsi cost the same but was sold in a larger bottle).

More British slang that pisses you off to hear when used in any situation where British people aren't being made fun of. Especially frustrating to hear when used in everyday speech, such as on a British web site where you're just trying to find photos of Keeley Hazell, but have to be exposed to this fucked British jargon in order to find some.
Blah blah blah pikey blah blah blah ninny blah blah blah I reckon blah blah blah bloke blah blah British annoyance.
