A jones is a yearning, desire or need for something. When you're in withdrawal from a drug, you have a jones for it. And love is the druggiest drug of them all. Except for acid.

What the fuck? I agree stupidity is humorous at times, but this clearly wasn't a joke although you can bet your ass some did laugh at your stupid ass. You just wanted to show that the term couldn't be looked up, but little did you know that you actually need some education in order to use a dictionary the right way.

No, no, wait, I get it. The whole fuckin' question was a joke to begin with, right?

Whoa. No, my aim wasn't to show that the term couldn't be looked up. Check your defensiveness, 'cause it's not necessary. I typed in "love jones" for shits n giggles, and posted what came up. That's all. Believe it or not, it had nothing to do with you. Just me and my "stupid ass." bored
