A man, typically one that can be described as mischievous and/ or sexually devious. He is diabolically foul and is ghastly on my nethers.
“What’s that bloke doing to chica 😳💀”
I see their are some Americans I suspect of French or Ukranian origin on this site who have a grudge against the British. For your information the word 'bloke' is similar to the American 'dude' except that it is more symbolic of a regular guy. In other words it's connotation is not as gay as 'dude'.
Some bloke picked a fight with us on the street yesterday.

It may be used in Australia. In the UK it is a common working class term for an average, grown, working class man .It is used with macho leanings or ironically as such. The intonation sounds laconic&flat-footed enough to have originated in the North of England. Cockeney /UK dialect uses it like guy.
Bloke will never be a name as such. Since one of the lads or men , is a bloke"

A slang word mainly used by French Canadians in a derogatory way towards any English speaker; irregardless of their heritage.
"Maudit bloke!"= "F*cking Englishman!" even if "maudit" means "damn, damned or Hell" it is still used in lieu of "f*ck".

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).
