I appologize Mia for having misinterpreted your post 320 that I misunderstood as meaning that the replying word should start with "a" and finishing with "j" :blush::blush:. Again, thinking the "j" was a typo. I hope you will forgive me for THAT ..........but Jonesing still remains an 8 letters word. :) Hoping That makes us even?

I have a doubt, isn't "to loop" a slang word for "to miss"? Perhaps in Lancashire or Cheshire? Can anyones help?

I’m not familiar with that usage, golondrina golondrina . I know of two idiomatic usages: Someone can be “out of the loop,” excluded from information others have, or someone can be “thrown for a loop,” upset about something that happened.

I don't know those terms, Drina. Maybe they are used in the UK?

Thanks for replying Mia. I left England over 60 years ago. It is possible that some slang words are no longer in use. I know that slang dictionaries exist but I have never found one. It is not important but I'm a "word maniac" and not only in English.

Thank you Tobermory for offering two new usages of the word loop. One never stops learning.:read:
