Word origin
The term 'bloke' originated in the mid 19th century as a colloquial slang term in the UK, particularly in working-class communities. It is believed to derive from the Middle English word 'blok', meaning 'a fool' or 'a dullard'. Over time, 'bloke' evolved to refer to an ordinary man, often in a friendly or informal manner. Today, 'bloke' is commonly used in British English to refer to a man or person in a casual and familiar way.
