pie charter

A negative term used among geeks, especially in the data visualization community, for a person who is not very clever and/or tends to slack off.

The origin of the word is that a pie chart is an overused and frequently ineffective way to display information and statistics. Someone who uses a lot of pie charts is narrow-minded, lazy and stupid.
He did a very poor job on that project. What a pie charter!

Don't be a pie charter! You said you would clean the house today so do it.
