notes
- Origin: possibly during the 1960s as a drug reference. The band Fraternity of Man has a song called "Don't Bogart Me," circa the late 1960s. Lyrics include: "Don't bogart that 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.
