I googled auntie. It is a slang word for male homosexual. That is crazy to me how it can mean a female in the USA and a male. I wonder what other meanings the word has. I guess it is similar to the slang bad. One context it is not a good thing and another, it is "cool."
Multiple choice on my google search.
No mention of males.

Or
2-antimissile missile [‚an·tē¦mis·əl ¦mis·əl]

Or
- 3 n.1. Literally, an aunt who has never been - married. Figuratively, it is a term used as the prototype of a person who is broadly naive and not wise in worldly ways; as, he knows as much about programming as my maiden aunt.-
Mostly my Aunts, maidens or not were prototypes of who could shock the nephews the most, there was a clear winner, and that Aunt was like 2 in the multiple choice. Loved em all.
Oh here it is,-
n pl -ies
1. a familiar or diminutive word for aunt
2. Austral slang a male homosexual
If that is short for Australian slang then the Dictionary is wrong. It means No. 1 with respect .
