This verb comes from the fact that very often in his movies Humphrey Bogart is seen with a cigarette in his mouth, and usually it stays there a long time. So "bogart" became a verb meaning to hold onto something a long time, especially when others are waiting to share. In the 1960s the term was often used among marijuana smokers, who might ask someone who was taking too long before passing on a lit reefer: "Hey, don't bogart that joint!" In the sixties film "Easy Rider" a soundtrack song made that usage popular; it in fact was titled "Don't Bogart That Joint, My Friend."
