Memory Tip
把boob看成两个b中间夹着oo，b像乳房侧影，oo像乳头，由此记‘乳房’；同词也指傻瓜，注意别混淆。
Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：日常口语、朋友间玩笑、非正式场合 boob 作名词时通常是非正式用语，多用于口语或轻松、亲近的场合，不适合正式或礼貌语境。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以 /uːb/ 结尾的词（tube、cube、lube、rube）与 boob 押韵；英式英语中 tube 和 cube 常在元音前带轻微的 /j/，但押韵关系不变。book 只是拼写相似：读作 /bʊk/，与 look 押韵，不与 boob 押韵。boon 和 boom 虽含 /uː/，但分别以 /n/、/m/ 结尾，也不与 boob 押韵。
