Default Jiffy stand?

So when did they start calling the kick stand a "Jiffy Stand" That sounds kinda like something Leave it to Beaver would call it.

It's a jiffy stand 'cause it was quicker to rest the bike on it than putting it on a center stand, or on the rear mounted stand as on the older HDs.

Maybe it's all because gritty, tough as nails, bad to the bone biker types, like to use words like "jiffy", now and then.

The "Jiffy Stand" accessory was introduced by Harley in 1925.

In the words of Larry the Cable Guy;
