I see....you are asking about the term....not the car.....I doubt if anyone intended "slabside" to be derogatory....... in any case, I think they are beautiful and even more so in person.

There was Concours at Kirkland WA. a few years ago and most of the significant Cobras were there......and a black early 260 was there and it was achingly beautiful....

If I was buying/building a new one, it is exactly what I would buy.....with a 260....... and wire wheels...
