What does BOGART mean in Scrabble?
verb
slangNorth American
To keep something for oneself and refuse to share it, especially a thing meant to be passed around.
The verb bogart began in American slang of the 1960s, when it described a person who held onto a shared cigarette instead of passing it on. It was later used more widely for anyone who hogs a snack, a seat, a conversation or a game controller. The word is often traced to a film actor known for holding a cigarette in his mouth, though the sense itself has nothing to do with acting.
