I can tell you what the original saying means, which is a trope in its own right. But the second paragraph goes into Real Men Don't Use Instructions territory, which is something different, and also into There Is No Manual territory, which is again something completely different.

Yes, exactly. The name in common parlance as well as multiple parts of the description are kind of at odds.

This sounds like a Trope Repair Shop issue.
