U.K. term and now turning popular in Canada thanks to me for Police Officer, Feds or even just a nosy person in general who loves to interrogate others lives because their own life is boring, we all know at least one person who is like that now, I think.

Typically the brother of one of your best friends. Jakes are known to be a bit precious, high drama, slightly narcissistic and far too good looking for a one syllable first name. Most Jakes are found in California, with some recent sitings in upper-middle Wisconsin in the Jewish quarter.
Jakes being such a dick again!

Yeah, but Urban Dictionary wouldn't let me post something that specific.
