Slang for drunk or intoxicated — another word in the long list of informal synonyms for being under the influence. 'Jaked' has a slightly dated or regional flavor and may be connected to 'jake' (fine, okay in some dialects) used ironically, or to 'Jake's leg,' a form of paralysis caused by poisonous alcohol during Prohibition. Typically used informally to describe solid inebriation.

(slang, especially, New York, w:Chicago, Chicago, MTE, MLE) A police officer, a law enforcement officer (sometimes especially one on foot rather than in a patrol car).
"jake" comes from African-American Vernacular English or Multicultural London English and means a police officer, a law enforcement officer (sometimes especially one on foot rather than in a patrol car). It has spread well beyond its origin through hip-hop, drill, TikTok and gaming, so a teen of any background may use it. It is not in itself a sign of bad behaviour; it is a style of speech the way 'cool' or 'wicked' once was. The conversation worth having is about respecting where the language comes from, not about banning the word.
"jake" is informal, ethnically marked slang English meaning a police officer, a law enforcement officer (sometimes especially one on foot rather than in a patrol car). It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "a police officer" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "jake" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.
