bogarting

Selfishly keeping it

Bogarting is hogging or monopolizing something meant to be shared, especially a joint of marijuana.

The term comes from Humphrey Bogart, who famously let cigarettes dangle from his lips without smoking them.

Quit bogarting the remote.

Don't bogart that joint, my friend—pass it over to me.
