Question about English (US)
What does “boop” mean in oral English? I’ve seen it in a cartoon named “Lucas the Spider”for many times. For example: “Can’t talk, boop later!” “I’m gonna boop it.”

“Boop!” is what you say when you touch a cute animal’s nose with your finger :)
It can also be used as a verb (“I’m gonna boop the snoot”)

I know it as a sound that is made when you pop or poke something.
Like if you pop a balloon you can go 'boop boop'
Or usually when little kids poke animals with sticks they say 'boop'

@Anivia I second this answer, usually it means giving something small and circular a press, otherwise if it's large the sound wouldn't be very appropriate. I think it can refer to things beyond noses, but at the very least noses are the safest use for it.
