bogart

Refuse to share

To bogart is to selfishly take or keep something that should be shared—originally marijuana in a smoking circle: Don't bogart that joint.

The term comes from Humphrey Bogart, whose film persona often featured a cigarette dangling from his lips.

The meaning has broadened to any greedy monopolizing: He's bogarting the remote again.
