From Wikipedia [1]:

    More generally, "abstract nonsense" may refer to any proof ... that uses 
    primarily category theoretic methods, or even to the study of category 
    theory itself. Note that referring to an argument as "abstract nonsense" is not 
    supposed to be a derogatory expression, and is actually often a compliment 
    regarding the sophistication of the argument.

Thanks Frank!
