Boner used to be used as "accident"

More generally, “blunder” or “mistake.”

There are a lot of old comics that used “boner” in this way. See Joker’s boner as a classic hilarious example.

A local radio station has a morning show segment called "boner of the day," which presents three idiots and the hosts pick one (or maybe a caller, I forget) to "win". They're usually people from the news (like Florida man) doing something incredibly dumb or messing up hard.

They're trying to get you to put a Shell Gasoline sticker on your car under the guise of "promoting responsible driving."

In high school I used to wake up to this morning show that had a Boner of the Day segment, and I love it whenever I spot the old-fashioned use of the word "boner" now.

I also recently set my alarm clock back to that radio station for nostalgia. They're all still there, still doing the Boner of the Day.

"Saaaaay... what's the BIG IDEA?"
Boners, pal. Traffic boners.

Spoiler alert: People still get boners while driving, especially on bumpy roads.
