Comment (by ElectricFeet):

 Good to see this is getting traction :-)

 > I'm fine with changing the message, but I'd like some more suggestions
 on what the new message could be. A bit of personality is good to have
 here, noting that it does need to be translated into a lot of different
 languages. Pop culture reference (such as the suggested quote) are good,
 because they've probably already been translated many times.

 It could also be "Oops! We messed up somehow.", or similar. Or even
 something like Github's 503: https://github.com/503

 > Also, the original problem is that WordPress is not detecting when the
 session times out, which it absolutely should be able to do. When that
 happens, it should present a more useful message.
 Absolutely. Improving the messages was the main thrust of the other ticket
 ( https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14530 ), which spawned lots of
 other tickets to improve individual sub-messages. While I agree that there
 is probably still work to do on improving the sub-messages and making sure
 that data is saved, I'm keen that this ticket focuses only on the
 "Cheatin'uh?" part of the message. Otherwise it risks not getting done --
 as in the previous ticket where it got lost because the two issues were
 mixed up together.
