Etymology

() American English slang origin, from actor Humphrey Bogart, from Dutch surname Bogart (“keeper of an orchard”), from boomgaard (“orchard”), cognate to English boom (“piece of wood”)/beam + garden. Senses of selfishness and excess evolved from the original 1960’s use meaning “keep a joint in the mouth instead of passing it on”, recalling the actor’s signature practice of constantly keeping a cigarette dangling out of his mouth, even while talking. Other senses of “bullying” or “tough guy” also originated in the 1960’s and recall the actor’s various movie roles.
