25 years ago I had a coworker say that he was a lesbian whenever he could work it into the conversation. He dressed like a man, acted like a man, looked like a man, and was married to a woman. There was nothing feminine about him. His follow up would be that he “liked women so that made him a lesbian.”
Words change over time. When they get used in a certain way enough, they pick up that connotation which carries over to other uses. Eventually the meaning can change to be a way to mean that connotation. Eventually the dictionary definition is updated to include the new definition.
