Note that it occurred in 1908, which is four years before the 1912 date given for the origin of the term.  I do not know whether the Merkle incident gave rise to the term “boner,” which worked it’s way into print four years later; or whether the word was already in use in 1908 and the research which gives the later date is incomplete.

I know it’s over a year late, but you’re in luck.

Reason? The power of a title.
Type the word “mistake” or “a mistake” into the YT search and the #1 video is the video above.

Search for “boner” and no HFW seen for three pages, and type the full title, “pull a boner”, again no HFW video for three pages, but that video is the Featured video on the right side of the page search results.

Using Google, searching for “mistake” yields no HFW video, but enter “a mistake” and that video above is the 1st video out of 37 million search results! Wow!!!

That video is the #6 video on page 1 of the Most Viewed – Comedy – This Month honors.

And, the Most Viewed – Comedy – This Month has four HotForWords videos on page 1,
