If you do a little googling it is easy to confirm but there is the sexual definition like you where referring to and then there is just the more general relationship definition which is basically the Top is the more dominate / assertive partner and the bottom is the more passive partner.

Me and my gal do have a top/bottom dynamic but it's not very strong, like it's just flirting and foreplay.
There is no top or bottom when we do anything physically sexual, we just do it together and that's great :)
C'mon OP, every sort of human sexual interaction has dynamics like this. Top or bottom, submissive or dominant, switching it up, all that, we humans do it.

I don’t think there’s any group that doesn’t have some members who like domination. But I’m just speculating and am not an expert.
Well I, on the other hand, AM an Expert Dominator.
In addition to the cis lesbian explanations below, don't forget about our trans lesbian friends.
