"Bloke" is a slang term for "man," much like "guy" or "dude." It is primarily used in Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

Australasian Significance

While the term technically only means "man", the word "bloke" has been adopted into Australasian culture to mean substantially more than that.

"Blokey" culture is the stereotypically masculine culture found outside of the metropolitan areas of Australia and New Zealand, the culture in which hard work, loyalty and not showing emotion are all valuable attributes.
