Words and Phrases for Desire

A friend told me about a lesson she did on Wednesday. She was teaching levels of diction, and so she had her students come up with high, medium, and low words for drunkenness. An example: inebriated, drunk, sloshed. I'm doing the same with desire.

Yearn / Hunger / Hanker
Pine / Long / Jones
Partial to / Want / Have the hots for
Fancy / Wish / Lust
Desiderate / Hope / Crave
