To do something with a cool head, no stress and showing off a lot of confidence and expertise on the matter.
Referencing the acting style of Hemphrey Bogart.
(slang verb) To keep something all for oneself, thus depriving anyone else of having any. A slang term derived from the last name of famous actor Humphrey Bogart because he often kept a cigarettein the corner of his mouth, seemingly never actually drawing on it or smoking it. Often used with weed or joints but can be applied to anything.
A term used in the 70's. Refering to the actor Humphry Bogart who smoked alot.
This means that one is either takeing more that his share of the joint, or not sharing at all.
To hold on to a joint too long without passing it on. Comes from the fact that Humphrey Bogart used to smoke like a train in his movies. So the person holding on to the joint too long is said to be "bogarting" it.
Other people may use this word for other purposes nowadays, but this is the traditional slang definition. Its use in this context was probably first documented in popular culture in the 1968 song "Don't Bogart Me" by The Fraternity of Man, featured in the "Easy Rider" soundtrack
Don't bogart that joint, my friend Pass it over to me.
Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me.
In the late 70s, early 80s, "Bogarting" was to take an extra toke off a joint that was being passed around. This usually occurred when three or more people would "Partake" and the person(s), in the middle (the passer), would "Bogart" a hit.
Its origin is obviously from legendary actor, Humphrey Bogart's' notable "over indulgence" for smoking cigars.
Dude, quit bogarting that joint, again!, Do yousit bitch every time just to Bogart a hit?
Humphrey Bogart smoked all those cigarettes. He died from lung cancer. When you hang onto a joint and let it burn without sharing, you look like Bogart with his perennial smoke dangling from his lips. The term had no popularity until it became a hit song in the 1970's.

Chorus
Don't bogart that joint my friend
Pass it over to me
Don't bogart that joint my friend
Pass it over to me
Roll another one
Just like the other one
You've been holding on to it
And I sure will like a hit

Roll another one
Just like the other one
That one's burned to the end
Come on and be a real friend
