Make a silly mistake. Though this phrase seems to possess sexual connotations due to a shift in the meaning of the word "boner", the original phrase actually has racist origins.
From eigozai.com:
The expression "to pull a boner" comes from the old American minstrel shows. There was a man in these shows who was called Mr. Bones because he carried two small sticks of bone that he used as an instrument. He was asked questions by one of the other men in the show, just to get stupid but funny answers. This became known as "pulling boners." But in time, the expression, "to pull a boner," meant something more than getting an answer to make you laugh. It meant a bad blunder a mistake that was costly. And a man who pulled such boners was often described as a "bonehead."

Get the pull a bonermug. A long term relationship dynamic in which one member "pushes" the other other away if intimacy becomes too great or the relationship threatens to become "too serious", yet also "pulls" the pursuer back with signs of interest if the target begins to give up on pursuing the relationship. Typically this habit is the result of some one with a fear of commitment who craves the relationship yet is unwilling to give up the option of keeping all of their options open. Often a form of subtle indecisiveness, in this manner they can effectively stake a claim on the other member with their scent and keep them in relationship purgatory while still being able to jump on a better opportunity if one happens to come along.
I finally had to just break it off with her for good, she had been playing push-pull with me forever.

Get the push-pullmug. A form of birth control practiced by idiot couples to prevent pregnancy. It is not at all effective because pre-ejaculate contains sperm. It also does not protect from STDs
