I am a lot older than Mandrola. The phrase "widow maker" was originally applied to hemodynamically significant obstruction in the left main. But apparently such a cool phrase was not being used often enough and so the definition was changed to the still very important, but less dramatic, but more frequent tight proximal LAD stenosis, hence allowing the use of that cool phrase more often.
