Dear Dr. Bawdy,
Why is a boner a synonym for both a hard-on and an error?
— Woody, Peoria, IL
Dear Woody,
Like the cigar that’s only a cigar (OOPS, I forgot about Bill and Monica), a boner is sometimes only a mistake — nothing less, nothing more. Things simply have a way of unexpectedly rising to the occasion. Boners like shit often just happen. Don’t read too much into it. That may be hard to take, but do so… and just move on.
