They way I use it, it isn’t just identifying the trying-to-avoid-a-C&D-order stuff but also the miniatures which do actually have certain notable alterations, like certain not-Predators don’t have the right mandibles, or all the not-Space Marines that have a similar design but go all out on the steampunk/roman/greek vibe. It’s a good term for that at least, since it’s clearly understood that the miniature is very much like something else, but isn’t it.

Plus it helps distinguish stuff from actual licensed products, like with the AvP game or the old Starship Troopers bugs.
