silly ?  yes but it describes it purpose very well it takes in a"gulp" of 
air in to the intake manifold. In theory.
         This name was also applied to the part that did the same thing on
American cars. If the air was diverted to the intake it was called gulp 
valve and if the air was diverted to the atmosphere it was called a 
diverter valve.
