I thought boondoggle's were those plastic weaved keychains we made at camp in the 80's.
This word is inextricably linked in my mind with the word hornswoggle.
"To the cowboy it meant the making of saddle trappings out of odds and ends of leather, and they boondoggled when there was nothing else to do on the ranch." (Chicago Tribune 4 Oct. 1935, cited in OED)
