No comments yet — say something.
A British and Irish informal term for a woman, formed by feminizing the word 'bloke' — the classic British term for an ordinary man — with the suffix '-ess.' A blokess is roughly the female equivalent of a bloke: down-to-earth, unpretentious, maybe a bit laddish. The word is playful rather than clinical, suggesting someone who fits comfortably into a traditionally blokey social environment without making a big deal of it.
