I think you misunderstand. The way Wikipedia uses the word is the original usage, so only funny if you don't know about it. Applying it to bar fights and such is the tongue-in-cheek usage.
But thank you for googling something I already looked up before posting my original comment. I genuinely don’t understand why people on this platform think they have authority on how language can be used and interpreted. It’s exhausting
Well I found your observation amusing
Well sorry. No offence intended.
