Yaw: The rotation about a vertical axis that passes through the car's center of gravity.
Y-connector: Any connector in the shape of the letter "Y" -- often referring to a hollow unit. For example, the line coming from the windshield washer pump is connected to the bottom part of a "Y" and the two tubes going to the windshield nozzles are connected to the upper part of the "Y". It differs from a T-connector in that the V-shape is straight across.
