Israelis invent new slang word, "lacondol," based on Condoleeze Rice

I just heard this on the NPR news and current events game show, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." The host said that political circles in Israel have coined a new slang word, a verb, "lacondol" based on Condoleeze Rice's name. The "la" according to them, is what makes it a verb infinitive.

The definition of "lacondol" is to do nothing -- but actually, to run around, holding meetings and conferences, generating paper, but accomplishing absolutely nothing.

Haven't been able to corroborate this through google, but if there are any Hebrew speakers/Israelis out there, would appreciate a confirmation!

:rofl:
