Etymology
The slang sense of fruity also comes from the root fruit because fruit is bright, sweet, or a bit delicate, and people used that image to describe someone who seemed 'showy' or different. A helpful way to remember this is that fruity came to mean 'odd' or 'eccentric', which is why it can be used for strange or unusual behaviour.
