Also (if Wikipedia is to be believed), it appears it was called "Alternative S" in some procurement documentation (as opposed to Alternative A, buying an American tank, or Alternative T, buying one from Germany), so there seems to be at least some fragile historical basis for the nickname. Unlike, say, "Bert the Avenger" for the FV304 self-propelled gun, which never existed in the first place and is only called that in-game because a prominent livestreamer randomly called his that. :)

(I admit to a strange fondness for most of the community nicknames in WoT; in particular all the various riffs on Waffenträger, most notably "Waffletraktor", and of course "the Death Star" for the FV215b(183). And the Conqueror Gun Carriage Orbital Laser Cannon.)
