Bogarting
Etymology of the term "bogarting.":
"bogart 1969, 'to keep a joint in your mouth,' dangling from the lip like Humphrey Bogart's cigarette in the old movies, instead of passing it on. First attested in 'Easy Rider.' The word was also used 1960swith notions of 'get something by intimidation, be a tough guy.'" http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=bogart
"bogart v 1. to steal or hog. ('Don't bogart my cookies!') Origin: possibly during the 1960s as a drug reference. The band Fraternity of Man has a song called 'Don't Bogart Me.' Lyrics include: 'Don't bogartthat joint, my friend, pass it over to me.' It has been theorized that the term is an allusion to Humphry Bogart, an American actor who always had a cigarette hanging from his lips. To 'bogart' a joint, then, would be letting it hang from one's lips without passing it on. Submitted by Emily Marcroft, UC Berkeley, CA, USA, 13-01-98.
