boob

Adjective (not comparable): informal|pejorative}} Idiotic, foolish.

The looks suspiciously like attributive use of the noun ("Idiot, fool") to me. DCDuring (talk) 21:58, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

What? An adjective meaning “idiotic” that is not comparable? That’s the boobest thing I ever heard.  --Lambiam 17:29, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with what seems to be American English, but I do know there is a British noun sense missing, an embarrassing mistake, to go with the verb - "I made a boob." DonnanZ (talk) 09:42, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

I just added the British meaning now. I first heard the American sense of ‘boob’=‘fool’, as well as ‘xerox’=‘photocopy’ from Mr Burns singing in the Simpsons song ‘Look at all those idiots!’ (available on YT). Overlordnat1 (talk) 14:51, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
