Has anyone ever heard the word "bogart" used as a slang term for keeping a lot of objects to one's self?

Yeah, the primary use of it is connected to the certain illicit substance etaoin referenced (or licit, in some cases -- don't bogart my glaucoma medication?), but I have heard it used in other contexts as well. I've wondered about the origin of the term before, and I must admit I was hoping for something more colorful that the one Anu supplied (though I don't doubt its veracity).

In his movies, Bogart used to let cigarette barely hang
from his lower lip. Wannebes copied mannerism with cannabis joints, and were slow to share.
