Which leads to another question. Are you really a closet Brit? They use the term bloke in everyday language... Many decades a freshly arrived Brit entered into my Engineering team . He was a former Jaguar engineer. He gave me about a thousand reasons to never buy one..
But he always referred to another guy as a Bloke...
So we nicknamed him "the Bloke".
Now, what seems a century later, you call the grayback Reb down in Georgia a bloke...
Are you a closet Englishman per chance????
Interesting choice of a word there Sir De !
