This Is Not Photoshopped


The daily crossword from dictionary.com is usually quite chaste, and I was quite shocked the other day when I was left with no choice but to put a 'B' in as the first letter of 15 across. I immediately looked up dictionary.com's definition of boner—perhaps it meant something that I wasn't aware of.

The following definitions were given. After some thought, the last one still works the best. Pull in not the verb typically used with errors, blunders or mistakes. It is, however, common enough with 15 across.

1) a person or thing that bones.
2) a foolish and obvious blunder; stupid mistake.
3) a blunder or an error.
4) an erection of the penis.
