Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

"(slang) A project one does in place of another, higher priority task, e.g. washing the dog instead of paying bills. An act of procrastination that alleviates guilt by creating the illusion of productivity." This is one of the words from Eric Raymond's Jargon File, which in general are quoted a lot but rarely used.
