Boondoggle – use it in a sentence.

Short and sweet entry today to broaden your vocabulary.

Boondoggle was the word chosen by our grammarian last night at my Toastmasters meeting. Needless to say I couldn’t work it in. However, what a great word!

–noun

1.	a product of simple manual skill, as a plaited leather cord for the neck or a knife sheath, made typically by a camper or a scout.

2.	work of little or no value done merely to keep or look busy.

3.	a project funded by the federal government out of political favoritism that is of no real value to the community or the nation.

–verb (used with object)

–verb (used without object)

5.	to do work of little or no practical value merely to keep or look busy.

Please please let me know if you have used this word before. Or – tell me how you would us it in a sentence.
