The word "bogart" clearly refers to the action of holding the joint rather than keeping it moving. I think the word "bogart" refers to Humphrey Bogart's handling of cigarettes in his films. They're talking about a person who holds onto the joint and waves it around while talking for emphasis. So a person who bogarts the joint isn't actively smoking, nor passing it to someone else -- just holding it while it smolders, or maybe taking a second draw after holding it.
