Can we please reopen the colorful language in mathematics question?

A long time ago, the question

What are some examples of colorful language in serious mathematics papers?

was closed because someone posted a copy of Spencer Bloch's review of Milne's Étale Cohomology. It was unfair at the time to have closed the entire question, and as time has gone by, I've begun to feel more strongly about this. I intermittently go back to that page, and there could be so many more fun answers if it had been open all this time.

So, dear MathOverflow readers, can we reopen the late great colorful language question?
