... Pixies, Sheilas, Dirtbags and Cougar Bait: Modern Slang.
Journalists trying to be hip have to be careful. Many use the term jonesing, for instance, in a way that clearly indicates they don't know what they're talking about. A jones isn't a full-fledged habit. It's a sign you're on the way to a full-fledged habit: "You know somethin's happenin, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?"
Frank, EXACTLY the point Dr. Cheech and Prof. Chong made many years ago, explaining the condition of a "basketball jones."
