Why are cues like this call "Sneaky Pete's"?

I've seen a lot of "Sneaky Pete's" that don't really look all that sneaky to me. Sticks that have only 4 ivory dots on the whole thing or all the way up to cues that have simple inlays and wraps. To me, a "Sneaky Pete" is supposed to resemble a house cue but play like a gift from God. Is my definition wrong?
 
The fancy ones are called conversions now.
No such thing as "sneaky pete" anymore.
You're not fooling anyone.

You're right except for the "Gift from God" part. Sneaky Petes should resemble a house cue, however there are bad playing sneakys and good playing sneakys.

And there are also sneaky petes & hustler cues that actually play as well as ANY cue you can buy at ANY price.;)
 
The owner of my local pool room had a 45 dollar dufferin house cue converted he liked the hit so much. He uses the cue for everything including three cushion billiards. Just goes to show you a little can go a very very long way.
