Narrative:

Cleared for takeoff atl runway 26L (tower frequency 119.5). During the takeoff roll the tower canceled the takeoff clearance. The result was a high speed abort. Estimated airspeed when the takeoff was discontinued was 130 KTS. V1 was 140 KTS. Flight delayed while brakes and tires were cooled and inspected by maintenance. When we inquired for the reason for the abort, tower informed us that their equipment showed a conflict near taxiway B2. The terminology used to direct an abort by the tower is not pilot friendly, ie, 'aircraft X cancel takeoff clearance.'
