When posting on this thread you must coin new words by using nouns as verbs.
Don't rely on verbs that have already been created from nouns and have, as such, become accepted.
You should try to verb new nouns rather than using nouns that have already been verbed.

In my town a few years back this idiot from across the street needed a battery. His name was Jones.
So he goes across the street, pulls up the hood on some random car, takes out the battery, strangely enough, gets caught.
So the town now has a new phrase whenever someone does something illegal really stupidly:
"Looks like he's Jonesing it again"
Back in the day, people who smoked pot in quiet gatherings would say, "Hey, don't bogart that whole joint."
(Maybe this is only in America, I don't know.)
From Dictionary.com:
bogart
[boh-gahrt] (sometimes initial capital letter) Slang.
verb (used with object)
1. to take an unfair share of (something); keep for oneself instead of sharing:
Are you gonna bogart that joint all night?
2. to bully or force:
He just bogarted his way into the elevator!
verb (used without object)
3. to act or move in a tough or aggressive way:
That big guy doesn't ask--he just bogarts.
noun

5. a person who acts in a tough or aggressive way.
Also, bogard [boh-gahrd].

Surely you remember this song? Don't bogart that joint my friend, Country Joe and the Fish...
Or this one: "I'll never smoke weed with Willie, my friend''
It's interesting the guy on the right, I think he wrote that song, is playing a classic guitar like Willie's, who plays a classical guitar with pickup, it has a unique sound and you can hear that sound by the guy singing, he does some licks on the guitar. Willie must be the dudes mentor.
As an aside, GE Smith (guitar-bandleader) talks about and shows Mike Bloomfields guitar
Had to throw this one in: 2 part interview with Keith Richards by Matt Sweeny (well known guitarist. Richards comes across very personable, not arrogant at all. He plays a little brown Martin in this interview a bit.
