I have a friend called jake....:lol: I have never heard that term-- sounds like an UK term-- don't know why I said that but it just sounds like it.

A jake is also a yearling male turkey!
But I have heard the pulling elbows called jakes.

the diesel engine, thereby saving the truck brakes.

At least in my area screw in type flex connectors are called "jakes".

I'll go with the screw-in connectors for flex as well.
