Its a blunder, either way you look at it (4)
I believe the answer is:
boob
'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boob that I've seen before include "Mistake; breast (sl.)" , "Blunder (colloq.)" , "Slip" , "Error" , "Embarrassing mistake" .)
