I think we should use our unofficial power to call a council and settle the matter of naming. I nominate "profile" as the technical term. I like that it describes the result and not the intricacies of achieving it. Hard edged, focusable beam with the ability to shape the beam via inserts at the focal point (shutters, gobos, etc). I further suggest we stick with leko as the slang term, because it's been around longest, rolls off the tongue, and is completely opaque to those not in the know.
Once that's handled, we'll settle "west-coasting" once and for all.
Along with that, "wash" for fresnels, S4 pars, and many LEDs.
