a verb that means to crave something strongly, usually said in a construct with a participle (e.
g. "to be jonesing for") and often pronounced without the '
g' at the end (e.
g. "to be jonesin' for").
Sometimes the "for" is foregone. Usually a phrase emphasizing being in the moment is included, such as "right now" for the present, or "at that
time", "right then" for the past. In past, present or
future constructions, when said in a negative construction "just yet" is also used occasionally.
