Hard work is required from men and machines as I was to experience later when footplating Lambton No 5 on fivebogies battling its way up Newtondale.
[...] Ashoke was still reading at two-thirty in the morning, one of the few passengers on the train who was awake, when the locomotive engine and sevenbogies derailed from the broad-gauge line. The first fourbogies capsized into a depression alongside the track.
Possibly frombogart(“to selfishly take or keep something, to hog; especially to hold a joint (marijuana cigarette) dangling between the lips instead of passing it on”) +-ie(suffix formingcolloquialnouns).Bogart is derived from the surname of the American actorHumphrey Bogart (1899–1957), who was frequently shown smoking (tobacco) cigarettes in his films. The verb was popularized by its use in the song “Don’t Bogart Me” (1968) by the rock groupFraternity of Man which appeared in thesoundtrack of the filmEasy Rider (1969); the song has the lines “Don’t bogart that joint my friend. / Pass it over to me.”[3]

We normally dropped off at Shooters Billiards where we'd play pool and arcades, but sometimes left to do other shit. Shooters was a good lie to our parents when we came home smelling like smoke, because people smoked in the place, so we'd get away with smokingbogies or weed.
