bogart (v.)

[Gregory McNamee]

I don't have the beginning of your thread, Joel, so this may already
have been mentioned, but (IIRC) "bogart" came into widespread use
after the movie Easy Rider appeared in 1969, with its soundtrack song
by the Fraternity of Man, "Don't Bogart That Joint":

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

[chorus]

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

[chorus]
