What does BLOOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
An embarrassing mistake, especially one made on air or in front of an audience, or a short, dull, low-pitched sound such as a bubble makes; also, in baseball, a weakly hit fly ball that drops just beyond the infield.
A radio host who fumbles a sponsor's name live on air has made a classic bloop, the kind of slip that outtake reels and blooper compilations exist specifically to collect. Away from broadcasting, bloop can describe a plain physical sound too, the soft, muffled noise a stone makes dropping into still water or a bubble makes rising through liquid. Baseball commentators use bloop in a narrower, more technical sense, for a batted ball that barely clears the infielders but lands short of the outfielders, more a matter of luck than of power. All three uses share the same lightly comic, informal flavor, since bloop never sounds as serious as error or blunder.
How BLOOP is used
Informal, chiefly North American; heard in casual speech about on-air mistakes, in descriptions of soft sounds, and in baseball commentary for a weakly hit fly ball.
