Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Ed Boland, in The New York Times, March 2002, attributes the term to heroin addicts who frequented Great Jones Alley in New York City, off Great Jones Street between Broadway and Lafayette Street, although the slang term has obviously been around much longer.
Dan Waldorf states that the use of the term, in the sense of “addiction”, originated among heroin addicts.
