I've just consulted Mrs Rhuby, who was a cartographic draughtsperson for many years, but she disclaims any knowledge of the term at all.
Not that this proves anything, other than that it was not a term in common use amongst cartographers up to around 20 years ago.
(Indeed, when asked the meaning of the word, she suggested that it described the tenor of letters written to the advice columns of women's magazines!)
