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

I can't even imagine being bothered by the use, of the word.  

For some reason, it immediately reminded me, of, when QVC, sold NARS cosmetics.  

There were seriously posters, who were offended, when the Host(s),said  orgasm, because, it's one of the color names. 

I always wondered, what they were supposed to say, 

"and this color, is an unmentionble name"? 😂

I'm not bothered by it, I'd just not heard it before and wanted to know what it meant.

I have always assumed it was wanting something because someone else has it. Keeping up with the Joneses.

Between this and her use of "baby talk" she is becoming un-bearable.  Bring back Kathy Levine powers that be !!

@Reever...sad to say, but Rachel became
“unbearable” quite a while ago. So, this is just more of it..😕

I first heard the term in the 60s used for cravings.  It may have been used for drugs too.   The meanings of a lot of words/slang have changed over the years.  Life is stressful enough without getting hung up on this.

Thats been a slang term for a very long time.  It means craving for something.  There is no inappropriate meaning to it, so please dont infer there is.

@KKlim  I try to watch the food shows, but between her and Alberti I feel like I am watching a couple of kindergarteners!
