“I still Jones for Baja food.”
I haven’t Jones’d for anything in years but I still get a hankering.
Where did that “Jonesing” expression come from, I wonder? I haven’t heard it in a long time and I still like it.
I think it went back to Cosby and “The Basketball Jones”
Beyond that it was “keeping up with the Jonses”
They got it so I desire it... Just a guess
According to Wikipedia:
“Ed Boland, in The New York Times, March 2002, attributes the term to heroin addicts who frequented Great Jones Alley in New York City, off Great Jones Street between Broadway and Lafayette Street,[1] although the slang term has obviously been around much longer.
Dan Waldorf explains that the noun use originated from heroin users.[2]”
