ajaxturbation n. Excitation of oneself by gratuitous use of XmlHttpRequest, JavaScript and DHTML in contexts where they’re not necessary or useful, and where they result in needless code complexity, maintenance hassle, cross browser incompatibility problems and runtime brittleness.
To be sure, I like Ajax as much as the next guy (probably even more) but coining this term seemed like too much to pass up after the afternoon of debugging I just did.
