@luckyall Wait up! is used more casually and used in a friendly manner. Wait! sounds more urgent.
There are English phrases that use “up” at the end, such as:
*sit up
*throw up
*shut up
*mess up
*eat up
*grow up
*get up
All of them mean different things but they don’t make much sense grammatically.
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
Wait! = it can mean to wait for anything
“Wait! Don’t start the movie yet!”
“Wait! You’re speaking too quickly. Can you repeat what you said?”
Wait up! = You only say this if someone is walking or running away from you too quickly and you’re trying to catch up to them

they're pretty close. I picture: you're walking, and the people in front of you are moving fast and you want to catch up with them.
you can say "wait up!" or "wait!" in that case.
"wait up" also is used in this scenario. You're coming home late, after your (friend/family/parents) have gone to sleep. You tell them 'don't WAIT UP for me'. that means, they can go to sleep.

Lets say A and B are doing a speed eating match on 10 dollars bet but A is way faster than B.
is it natural for B to say "wait up" instead of "wait"?

@luckyall Yeah, that is natural. Your scenario made me change how I think about the phrase, “Wait up!” I guess you can really say it when someone is going too fast for you regarding any activity

no -- in that case (!), "wait" would be the thing. "WAIT UP" (to me) would refer to someone ahead of you... they're walking fast and you want to catch up with them.

why would B say 'wait' anyway.... doesn't A want to win? Why would A wait?

Oh, I don’t even know anymore... it’s confusing even to me. “Wait” works for everything, so if you’re ever in doubt about what you should say, just say “wait”
