       Is the word “bloke” familiar to any people outside of the UK?

       @kev yes! Does it basically mean "buddy?"

       @killyourfm @kev I've always thought of it as an analog for "dude" or "guy".

       @killyourfm @kev It's more like an informal term for a guy/man, as in "He seems like a nice bloke."

       @killyourfm it may do in the US. Here in the UK it’s used in the same context as “guy” or “dude”. So, like, “that bloke over there…”I’m thinking about buying a domain name with the word in it, but it’s pointless if only brits understand it. 😂
