keep up with the Joneses

Basically, it's an expression used to symbolize jealousy across the neighborhood and the need to keep up with each other. It's usually just technology, but the subject can be changed to lawnmowers, cars, etc.

Sometime in 2001...
Joseph: Dad! May I have the PS2?
Dad: No, you still have your Nintendo 64, right?
Joseph: It can play DVD's.
Dad: Okay, be prepared, I'll drive you to the Best Buy.
Dad, this time on his mind: I'll have to keep up with the Joneses!

Jonesing (Jones-ing)

If someone is 'Jonesing', they are incredibly excited for something, sometimes to the point that the wait for this thing is getting on their tits.

'I'm Jonesing (Jones-ing) for this bag of sniff'
'I'm definitely not Jonesing (Jones-ing) for this prostate exam'

jonesing to the jones

A deep desire to be someone else. A neighbor who has more or anyone and anything that you perceive to be better. The grass is greener syndrome.

They just bought a new Mustang and I am jonesing to the Jones right now.

Jimmy Jonesing

When you are addicted to Jimmy John's sandwiches and you haven't eaten there in a while, you start craving it.

Guy 1: Dude its been almost 24 hours since I've eaten at JJ's, I'm starting to withdrawal.

Guy 2: I know man me too, I'm Jimmy Jonesing!

Guy 1: Let's go before it's too late!!!
