Sorry, don't mean to be nosey...But I gotta ask...What's a "bogart"?

I live in FL now. But I went to school in NC. I like to read the NC posts...at least to read about towns I remember

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 cigarette in 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.

To selfishly hold on to something. Jocular usage heard amongst smokers of marijuana.

Come on Frank! Don't bogart that joint, we all want to get stoned sometime tonight.

"Hey can I bogart in on an exchange???"

Sounds fine with me. Remember I'm out of out 7/4-7/10.

I'm sorry we didn't have our stamp then! We are there about every Saturday checking on it. I started bringing my stamp in the van after that!

It will be after the 10th before we are back that way. Sounds like a fun little min-meet. I will post here as soon as I know more information!!! Can't wait to meet you all!

"Hey can I bogart in on an exchange???"

Max: I am confused about "bogart" ...
According to Amanda's definition, it is a slang verb essentially meaning to hoard something without sharing. At least that's what I read. Also the example of keeping the joint to one's self and not sharing it supports that.

However, as used in the sentence above, it comes across as ... "Hey, can I BARGE IN on this exchange between you two guys?" or "May I PARTICIPATE in this exchange?"

What gives? Are you bogarting the definition of bogart?

Get Smart - Max

Amanda is correct, however, we here in the south tend to use it to mean both. Goodness I can create quite a little stir can't I.

HA HA HA
