to dattel; to be rewarded for continuing a harmful and inefficient activity way past its prime time.

From the polluting and uneconomic German coal power plant Datteln 4, which received state subsidies to continue running.
He datteled me during that foodie call. I was about to barficate from all that junk food but couldn't stop eating!
