I’m inclined to agree. And in Machine Learning, we have the concept of “exploding gradients”. What other examples of violent language do we find in mathematics?

Trying to be more mindful of violent language that I inadvertently use (and reduce it). In math we often write "with abuse of notation". I am on the fence about whether that's still an appropriate way to phrase this (and leaning towards "no"). #mathsky, what are your thoughts? Any alternatives?
