Apparently to bogart as in hog for oneself refers to Humphrey Bogart. Huh.

Not to be confused with boggart!

It would be hard, I think, to confuse Bogey with a boggart.

I'd heard that for years, but thought it was a folk etymology, not a real one!

[larryhammer]

Heh.

I had always assumed it referred to Humphrey Bogart, but I never wondered how that happened.

That cigarette butt hanging out the corner of his mouth, all but used up.

Whereas I knew 'don't bogart that joint' from the song (can't remember where I first heard that, so maybe Easy Rider), and didn't know it had escaped into the wild ... A sign of age, I suspect.

Been in the wild from a while -- I think propagated initially via stoners with help from that song, but I have heard someone be accused of bogarting the donuts. (And other things, but the donuts stuck in memory.)
