rondo (rahn'-do) verb. 1. To smoothly move between large objects with dexterity and purpose. 2. To remove an object quickly without being detected. 3. To create a distraction followed by a swift change of direction.
Usage example: I just rondo'd some potato chips off my co-worker's desk. I'm such a Ninja.
Word history: The word was created by the folks at Reebok for their new viral marketing campaign featuring [SHOCK ALERT!!] the Boston Celtics' Rajon Rondo. And without further ado, here are the videos (note the brilliant cameos by Dee Brown and Jo Jo White):

Btw, the random letter word verification just threw this one at me: fubznixu. And you know what? Sound like a Word of the Day candidate; make it the opposite of Ubuntu, Fubznixu being Kobe's opposite way of thinking: my court, my ball, my game. ;)
@Stephanie g: That's actually a good sentence :D :D :D
rondo's actually a real word
Rondo refers to music that is fast and vivacious—normally allegro. Many classical rondos feature music of a popular or folk character. Music that has been designated as "rondo" normally subscribes to both the form and character. On the other hand, there are many examples of slow and reflective works that are rondo in form but not in character. Composers such as George Gershwin normally do not identify such works as "rondo".
to repeatedly throw up ridiculously high, slow lob passes and dare your opponent to pick them off
to average a triple double in the playoffs without having a reliable jumpshot
