goosenecks

S-shaped pipe bends

Goosenecks are curved pipes, fixtures, or fittings shaped like the long, sinuous neck of a goose.

The term applies across many domains: a gooseneck lamp has a flexible curved arm, a gooseneck trailer hitch connects in the truck bed, and gooseneck faucets arch high over sinks.

In geography, goosenecks are dramatic river meanders where water has carved serpentine bends through rock: We hiked to overlook the goosenecks of the San Juan River.
