This apparently changed around the same time people stopped using "Give 'em the high hard one".

I half remember being told this originally came from bonehead. so like a bonehead would make a mistake like that. which then got shortened to boner.

there was an 80s kids show where one of the characters was literally named boner lolllll

I'm assuming boner here means mistake but actual boners can be mistakes sometimes and lead to unintended consequences

What's the actual meaning of boner?

What even are you talking about, I wasted my life going through 10 pages for nothing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I read it, no clue what you were referring to

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I read it just and there was definitely some very 1940s lingo but was there one in specific that you were referring to?
