Yep!!!Jonesing?
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" . 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?AH!?? "Jonesing" doesn't start with A* and has 8 letters not 9, Mia
*Post 320
Actually, she corrected that in post 315!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" .

EDIT: THE CORRECT WORD HAS ONLY 8 LETTERS,
NOT 9, SORRY!!!

I’m not familiar with that usage, 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 have a doubt, isn't "to loop" a slang word for "to miss"?

I don't know those terms, Drina. Maybe they are used in the UK?I have a doubt, isn't "to loop" a slang word for "to miss"? Perhaps in Lancashire or Cheshire? Can anyones help?
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.I don't know those terms, Drina. Maybe they are used in the UK?

Thank you Tobermory for offering two new usages of the word loop. One never stops learning.I’m not familiar with that usage, golondrina .
