jake

"A Discordian prank." I searched for "played a jake" in G.Groups and found only one match, probably a typo for "joke". Equinox ◑ 13:16, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Read about the Great Spam Jake here: http://web.mit.edu/dryfoo/SubG/spam-jake.html

Also, here are some books that use both "jake" and "Discordian": https://www.google.com/#q=discordian+jake&tbm=bks Khemehekis (talk) 05:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Seems to be always capitalised Jake. Equinox ◑ 18:03, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm. Then maybe we can move the definition in question from jake to Jake. Khemehekis (talk) 01:10, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I have extended the definition to explain what the prank is (sending a lot of letters or parcels to somebody). I agree we might need to move it to capital J, when we have the requisite citations. Equinox ◑ 01:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Here are several good citations: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/discordian$20jake Khemehekis (talk) 04:00, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

MLE

‘jakes’ is used to refer to the police in S1E4 of ‘Top Boy: Summerhouse’, so I’ve added it as MLE.
