Interesting visualisations.

That's not what etymology is but that's probably a bit pedantic and I'll get in trouble for saying that.

Very good

But to be even more pedantic, boob is singular so it only really works with the last 'b'.

According to Etymology Online, it started as slang in the US, first attested in 1927. "Boobies" first attested in the 17th century, related to "bubby". Possibly from Latin for reasons I'm not getting into here (if you look you'll see why), or it might be a natural childlike use of language (they give equivalents from French and German)
