Oh, but of course $\emptyset$ comes from Bourbaki. Interestingly, so does $\Rightarrow$ to denote implication, and $\in$ instead of $\varepsilon$. The "Dangerous bend" comes from Bourbaki as well.

However, my all time favorite is the set of associated primes of a module M. $Ass(M)$ is in fact called the assassinator of $M$, and its elements are called assassins.
