Tufteturbation

A self-indulgent, self-pleasing and over-the-top use of graphical elements made famous by Edward Tufte, such as sparklines, small multiples, and layering one prominent color over black and white.
The sort of activity that some designers do when they want to show off.

-What's with all the frickin' sparklines? Is that really necessary?

-Of course not. The designer just had a case of Tufteturbation.

Tufted muffin

Tufteize

As noted in Fran Smith's 2007 profile of data visualization guru Edward Tufte, “devotees use his name ... as a verb; to 'Tufteize' your presentations is to scrap content-lite graphics, such as pie charts and decorative dingbats, and to create visuals that brim with data and state precisely what you know—nothing more and nothing less.”

"What's up with all this chartjunk?"
"I hear you, bro. Dude needs to Tufteize."
