How do you get Bloke from man or male?

@HumanEarth No idea slang i guess a bit like calling a man a geezer

@notsure Indeed, though I think "geezer" is very much more a London word. "Bloke" is country-wide.
Anyway to answer HumanEarth's question, about the only link between man / male and the US "guy" is that Guy with a capital 'G' is a real though unusual male name, originally "Guido" (as of a certain Mr. G. Fawkes.)
