Strong longing. Desire, want to have. "I'm jonesing for those jeans" = I'm
having some serious thoughts about driving three hours back to that mall to
buy that pair of jeans. The root of "jonesing" or " having a serious jones"
is "Keeping up with the Joneses", which is typically reserved for bigger
ticket items you just MUST have, though lately I've heard it used for food
cravings too.

HTH.
