bogart

This means to use or take too much of something. For some reason, only heard its use in reference to smoking pot, as in "Hey man, don't Bogart that joint.". (ed: any idea how this came about? One suggestion (from Neil) is "from the song "Don't bogart that joint my friend " by the Holy Modal Rounders?" - but I think it's a lot older than that!) A contributor who wishes to remain anonymous... writes "The phrase "Don't Bogart that joint" has to do with the way Humphrey Bogart held a cigarette; i.e., between his thumb and forefinger, cupped in the palm of his hand. I'm told it's a wartime habit, so as to hide the glowing cigarette in order to avoid drawing sniper fire." "By extension, if someone holds a joint in this fashion, he/she is usually accused of trying to hide it from others in order to avoid having to share - although he/she may be, in fact, simply trying to shield it from the wind." (ed: yeah - right) On a theme, another idea is that the term relates to the way he was seen to be smoking a cigarette, as a solitory sort of habit - unlike pot smoking where the joint is passed around - therefore the term 'don't bogart that joint' means don't keep it to yourself! Similarly someone else referred us back to the line from the song "Don't Bogart that joint, my friend, pass it over to me...". and says "If you've ever seen him in a movie, he always has a cig going, but takes infrequent hits. To bogart a joint then, is not to take too much, or more than your share, but to waste it by holding it while talking or whatever, and letting it burn to no one's benefit. Hope this clears that up." Likewise, we also have a suggestion it's so called because Bogart never smoked - he just held Cigarettes, hence Bogarting a Joint is to hold it and talk at length whilst not actually smoking it. (ed: so there ya go!) ... but then someone else said... "This means to use or take too much of something. For some reason, I only heard its use in reference to smoking pot, as in "Hey man, don't Bogart that joint. " and now Carroll says re "Don't Bogart that joint" means don't flick it away with your fingers as Bogart did his cigs in the movies. Meaning it still has a drag or two left. (ed: so we've pretty much sorted that out then?)
