Here's why:
* "Wax" usually refers to something that grows or increases, like "the moon is waxing."
* "Boastful" means to show off or brag.
Combining the two words doesn't create a commonly understood idiom.
If you want to express the idea of someone becoming increasingly boastful, you could use phrases like:
* "Become increasingly arrogant"
* "Grow more and more full of themselves"
* "Their ego inflated"
* "They started bragging more and more"
Remember, using idioms correctly is important for clear communication.
