Boob is a very interesting word and a draftsman's favorite. The first letter provides a top view, the second and third letters provide a front view and the fourth letter provides a side view. Onomatopoeia is a category of words that sound like what it is attempting to convey. I don't believe there is a category for words that look like what they convey.

i was in a male dominated work force for most of my career and used to comment to them on the uniquely male perspective on various things...one of which is how everything-no matter how mundane the subject-eventually gets tied back to sex. it was quite entertaining to observe.

This word that you analyzed was already tied to sex, but you managed to take it to another level....bravo!

you brought a smile to my face and fond memories of the great guys i used to work with and be entertained by.

thanks.
