A younger bloke with slightly more energy and significantly poorer decisions. Lads travel in packs, shout unnecessarily, and swear they’re ‘not even that drunk’. Often seen on weekends dressed like they’re auditioning for a cheap reality TV dating show.

“The lads were already three pints in before noon, absolute chaos.”

Classic British word for a man — usually the kind who’ll fix your sink, complain about the weather, and ask if the footie’s on with the same tone used for asking about a relative’s surgery. A bloke isn’t fancy, isn’t posh, and definitely isn’t explaining his feelings, but he’ll hold the door for you and pretend it was no big deal.

“Some bloke at the pub said my coat looked ‘proper dodgy’.”
