I always thought it was Jacob's joins, meaning to share, but now realise it should logically be 'joint'Posted by Brenda Godfrey on August 05, 2003 In Reply to: Jacob's joint posted by JTF on August 05, 2003 : The phrase is used of a shared meal - where everybody brings something and puts it on a table for people to help themselves. : It is commonly used in the mountainous area of Lancashire and Yorkshire but I have not found it used outside. : But what does it mean and is it used elsewhere?
