ni-ni versus con-con

Question

This came from a newspaper article describing a student who has developed some new software: ". . . más que un ni-ni es un con-con." I can't find these idioms anywhere. Thanks, Zeldasmomaz

Answer 1

A "ni-ni" comes from "Ni estudia ni trabaja" (A person that neither studies nor has a job). I guess it states a "con-con" as the opposite of a "ni-ni". That's all I can say without reading the article, I hope it helps!
