I think kernel panic is one of the most wonderful phrases in existence. It's my "cellar door," if you will.

It never startled me too much, but I have always loved the terrified reactions less computer-inclined folks have to "fatal error."
:cry: OH GOD, IT WAS FATAL? WHAT IS DEAD OH NO :cry:

To be fair, I had the same reaction the first time I saw my aforementioned favorite Kernel Panic. The idea of the fundament of my operating system seeing something so confusing or abnormal that it is hiding in the corner wide-eyed and shaking was at first very alarming and now rather hilarious.
