The later period during the French Revolution where Robespierre and his disciplinary committee sent most of the remaining loyalists of the king to the guillotine, along with some middle-class folks who were considered suspicious.
Apparently also a term used by some clown to take cheap shots at the Bushadministration. LOL BUSH SUX D00000D!
when your friend is at your house taking a duce and you burst into the bathroom holding a water bottle-size object and yell REIGN OF TERROR!!! and then start beating him with said object.
alternate phrases that can be said when entering the bathroom are: "rent's due", "time's up" or "this is my house, bitch".
Jeff's been in the bathroom for like, twenty minutes now. I'm gonna unleash a Reign of Terror on him.

Reign Of Terror
A historical period of suppression of suspected royalists and Girondists by the left thinking revolutionists of the day. Some estimates of up to 40,000 people killed are speculated.
Frenchman 1: We need to get rid of the counter-revs!
Frenchman 2: Lets grab that little girl and behead her I think we won't have to surrender to her because she's French too!
Frenchman 1: Oui. Let us proceed with our Reign of Terror.
