Great example of how the language changes.
Or perhaps how the interpretation is different from one person to another.
EDIT: "Boner" was interesting. Had to look it up in a dictionary. It only listed your interpretation. I always believed it was slang from bone and nothing else. This is what I get from learning English on the Internet.
Not sure in what context the noun is used, but guessing:
I was in my office talking to a gay boxer who made a boner claiming he could lick any man in San Francisco when Sally, always a queer one, ran in loudly ejaculating. "Dick! I need Dick!"
