    (.) is a valid expression in Haskell. Normally it is the prefix form of the infix operator . that does function composition. (.) (2*) (1+) 3 = ((2*) . (1+)) 3 = 2 * (1 + 3) = 8.

    But, the most common use of the word “boob” in my experience in Haskell is the “boobs operator”: (.)(.). It’s usage in Haskell is limited (tho valid), but it’s appearance in racy ASCII art predates even the first versions on Haskell.
