Jakes

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.

"I'm out here slangin' food to fiends. How can these Jakes be so clueless?"
"Have 40 Kilos in the ride. Really gotta dodge these Jakes."

Jakes

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.
