I'm going to be really pedantic here - he originally coined the term in reference to the spare continuity booth associated with NC3 (the backup Network Control room which also doubled as Sub-Control, a gallery without a studio for mixing OBs etc) which was smaller and somewhat antiquated compared to the NC1 Con. Over time the term stuck and the origins were forgotten.
