sonjack2847 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I know exactly what the topic title means but I don`t know which country it comes from is it from the UK or Aus or is it American. Some Germans asked me and I don`t know. Maybe you people can shed some light on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatuk2014 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I shall stick my " 5 penneth in" the english :lol: version of " Bloke " is basically a slang for a for guy ! I.E when for example when your talking to someone else about the man standing in the corner of the bar. it might go something like this ( depending on how much drink ) :cheersty: had been consumed " Och there jock who do you think that bloke over there is looking at ? " hope this wont upset our Scottish friends !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
