Contributor's comments: When I was at Newcastle Teachers College a lecturer in English Language told us that there were only two regions in Australia which used "the bloke of ..." "the girl of ...". Other areas omit the 'of' and just say the bloke Jones or the girl Smith.
Contributor's comments: Never heard of it. At high school and my early 20's it was common to use "mate". ie "I saw some mate walking down the road" or "I was talking to some mate in the pub the other day." The mate mentioned was someone unknown to the speaker. Some non-locals I knew queried it occassionally.
