Question 3

Is "boob up" formal or informal?

Accepted Answer

"boob up" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. British informal slang. 'Boob' alone (as a verb) means to make a blunder; 'boob up' is a less common variant. Not widely used today — younger speakers are more likely to say 'mess up' or 'cock up'. The noun 'a boob' (meaning a mistake) is slightly more common than the verbal form.
