Well, I'm old too (55) and I'd not heard it but then again I'm from Kansas. We're more out of the loop on some things---LOL.


@KKJ  - I'm 56 and have not heard the term used before.  But 56 is the new 46, right?  Smiley Happy

I agree with you...love not seeing them chew and chomp the food with weird faces.

Re: Rachel keeps using 'jonesing' to describe loving different products.

IMO, Rachael does not have a good command of the English language and can be offensive.  She is apparently unaware that "Little People" is conventionally and appropriately used by the population of persons with forms of dwarfism.   She chooses habitually to offend that population by implying that "Little People" applies solely to children.

@San Antonio Gal  like another poster said it comes from ‘keeping up with The Jones’.

She is not one of my favorite people, she's always trying to be a "comedian" and is not!  She is not young either, she mentioned once she is 50!

Really?  When Rachel used it in a sentence, saying  "if you're jonesing for something..."{paraphrasing) then the craving meaning would make more sense.

@Q-Girl too 

 

Yes.  I worked with adolescents for many years.  This is not someting that is used in polite society, if you get my drift.  It has to do with male anatomy.  Lordy, I'll probably get poofed.  Sorry MODS, I was trying to be polite about this, but the expression is inappropriate.  The host should not be using that term.

This is too funny as I just came on to post the same thing as the OP!  I too had not a clue what Rachel means by   "jonesing" , and wanted to know what it means. She's said it 2-3 times already during this show.


==================================

 

Maybe the word is becoming popular again.

I hear kids saying all kinds of cringe-wrothy stuff , and then I realize .. I'm just OLD!

@KKJ  That’s where I believe it came from. Wanting what other people have. 

If you think differently that’s all well and good.
