*'''Keep''' - I know it's a dicdef, but I disagree with the "unexpandable" - this could easily be expanded on the unusual dual-root of the word (Hindi 'loke'=man and Old Dutch 'blok'=idiot), the way in which the word disappears from American usage in the early 20th century whilst remaining in other English speaking countries, the albums [[William Bloke]] and [[Songs for the Kiwi Bloke]] etc etc. I also think it's noteworthy in and of itself as possibly the only word in common English usage to enter the language from [[Hindi]] (by way of [[Romany]] and [[Shelta]]) prior to Western contact with India.<font face="Trebuchet MS"> - [[User:Iridescenti|<font color="orangered">'''irides'''</font><font color="darkviolet">'''centi'''</font>]] [[User_talk:Iridescenti|<small><font color="chocolate"><i>(talk to me!)</i></font></small>]]</font> 10:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Per Iridescenti pretty much. Similar to [[Mate (colloquialism)|Mate]], [[Guy]], [[Man]], [[Lad]], [[Chap]], [[Dude]] and [[Homie]]. It just needs some expansion and more references. <b><font color="teal">[[User:DaGizza|Gizza]]</font></b>''<sup><font color="teal">[[User_talk:DaGizza|Chat]]</font></sup>'' <sup><b><font color="teal">[[Special:Contributions/DaGizza|&#169;]]</font></b></sup> 06:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
