goose neck

Curved pipe joint

A goose neck is a curved or flexible connecting piece shaped like a goose's arched neck.

The term appears across many domains: a goose neck lamp has a bendable stem for directing light, a goose neck trailer hitch curves down into a truck bed, and goose neck faucets arc high above the sink.

Also spelled gooseneck.
