British slang for a man or guy — a fairly neutral term for a male person, sitting in similar territory to bloke, geezer, or fella. Gloak has a slightly older, more underground feel than those mainstream equivalents and tends to surface in older British crime slang, market trader patter, and the kind of speech you'd hear from someone with a taste for vintage underworld vocabulary. It's not widely known outside certain British communities but is genuine working slang.
Some random gloak on the corner was handing out flyers for a club night that looked like it hadn't been open for years.
