BOONDOGGLE...As a noun it means "work or activity that is wasteful or pointless but gives the appearance of having value", or "a public project of questionable merit that typically involves political patronage and graft". As a verb it means "to waste money or time on such projects".

I was gonna talk about the meaning of the word boondoggle and why I chose that word, but quite frankly....how much can you really say about BOONDOGGLE? Turns out it is more fun to say than to talk about! So, hey, EVERYBODY SAY IT WITH ME! Come on, it will be fun...BOONDOGGLE, BOONDOGGLE, BOONDOGGLE! But, admit it, you gotta love the word because it has "DOG" in the middle of it. Mommie said that there was some stuff going on now that the new President is having to deal with, and some of the newspeople have used the "boondoggle" word when referring to all that. I'll have to check with my "newsie" friends, Preston and Ogelthorpe and see what they have to say. Anyway, every now and then we will have a new "fun word to say".
Now, let's use the word "boondoggle" in a sentence...
I think Sebastian is just trying to "boondoggle" me into thinking he is sooooo important by having to talk on his cell phone and check his messages all the time!

Hey look up kerfluffle and see what that means. I like this word and use it some. Spelling I think is correct.
