词汇 | don’t bogart that joint |
词源 | don’t bogart that joint; Bogard. In his films Humphrey Bog- art often left cigarettes dangling from his mouth without smok- ing them. This led to the counterculture expression Don’t bogart that joint; that is, “don’t take so long with, don’t hog, that stick of marijuana; smoke and pass it on to the next person.” The term became widely used after appearing in a song in the film Easy Rider. Among those who practice the long-standing, widespread habit of communally smoking marijuana cigarettes, bogarting is considered both selfish and a waste of the expensive weed. Bog- art’s name, in the form of Bogard, also became inner-city slang for “to act tough or in a forceful manner” in the 1950s, deriving from the tough-guy heroes Bogart portrayed. |
