Because this theme is built on Bootstrap, you can simply use a specific attribute on an element to insert a tooltip.
Suppose you have a glossary.yml file inside your _data folder. You could pull in that glossary definition like this:
<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="<!--|%%|%7B%7Bsite.data.glossary.jekyll_platform%7D%7D|%%|-->">Jekyll</a> is my favorite tool for building websites.</a>
This renders to the following:
Jekyll is my favorite tool for building websites.
