who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half)
Doesn’t compute, what does this mean?
Cream that goes in your coffee.
“Jones” is an American slang word meaning to be addicted to something, so “jonesing” for something means to crave something very strongly, and generally very vocally.
“Breve” is a coffee drink that is commonly made with half-and-half, which is a product that is equal parts cream and milk. I assume that people have taken to using the term to refer to half-and-half itself, but I’ve not personally heard that.
So the sentence is saying that their cat was addicted to half-and-half and would act like a junkie doing anything to get their next fix.
Thanks! Learned something.
But seriously, half is cream? At least make it whipped cream, what a waste.
I didn’t have heavy cream in the house. But I drank coffee every day with half-and-half.
Interesting. My step-daughter got breve = half-and-half working at Starbucks, which just may be a local brevity slang.
Looked up Breve on wikipedia and confirmed it includes the coffee.
