bogarted

Refused to share

Bogarted is the past tense of bogart, meaning to selfishly take or keep something for oneself, especially when sharing is expected.

The word originated in marijuana culture for someone who holds a joint too long instead of passing it: He bogarted the blunt.

It extends to any hogging behavior: She bogarted all the fries.

Named for actor Humphrey Bogart, who often appeared with a cigarette dangling from his lips.
