A couple of questions for the American type people.

1) On an episode of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer (and, no doubt other telly shows) i have heard a character say "Don't Bogart the chips/fries/chicken/etc, i guess they refer to Humphrey Bogart, but why?

2) Also heard on the telly, a character might say "I'm Jonesing for some chips/fries/chicken etc, meaning "I really need some blah blah blah", why Jonesing, who the hell is Jones?
