BOGART Meaning and Definition

1. Bogart is a slang term derived from the name of the iconic Hollywood actor Humphrey Bogart, who often portrayed tough, no-nonsense characters in film noir movies. As a verb, to bogart means to monopolize or selfishly keep something for oneself without sharing or allowing others access or use of it.

   In its original context, the term was popularized in the 1960s during the counterculture movement, particularly associated with the hippie lifestyle and drug subculture. It referred to someone who would greedily hold onto a marijuana cigarette (joint), taking long puffs and not passing it to others in the group. Consequently, bogarting became associated with selfish behavior or being stingy and possessive.

   The term has since broadened to encompass other actions or situations beyond drug use. For instance, someone who monopolizes a conversation, hogging all the speaking time and not allowing others to contribute, can be said to bogart the conversation. Additionally, in the context of sharing communal resources, like a shared workspace where one person continuously occupies it without allowing others to use it, that individual is bogarting the space.

   Overall, the term bogart has become widely recognized as a metaphor for someone who selfishly keeps something to themselves, depriving others of their fair share, regardless of the specific context.
