 The default failing nonce message did not pass the wife test. Asking "Are
 you sure you want to do this?" now that there is no longer "OK" and
 "Cancel" buttons is confusing and my wife just asked me "How do I tell I'm
 sure?"

 Not sure about the best wording, I took the same approach as Twitter's
 expired OAuth token links with a message that does not let user think
 there is something to confirm.
