The earliest references to the term I've seen are from RC.com in 2004, sport climbers moving in to trad and asking about extending pro with "trad draws". I guess if you come from a sport climbing background, an open sling with two karabiners used that way appears very similar to a quickdraw. I have mentally adopted the term for 30cm slings set up with 2 krabs, as opposed to slings (60cm or longer, which I carry doubled or tripled) or sewn quickdraws, its a useful distinction. But yeah, "short sling" has worked wel for a long time :-)
