Do you honestly think that's a good idea? IMHO, 95% (yes, this a guess, but I think a conservative one) of people will have no idea what that means. It will only confuse them and leave them feeling stupid - don't make users feel stupid.
This is not to say you don't have a valid point, but end-users need error messages that tell them how to fix the problem, not a diagnosis.
