Wait up!
I have heard many native English speakers saying 'wait up' or 'wait' in the same contexts, I think. So is it okay to say 'wait up' instead of 'wait' in conversations?
Thank you in advance as usual.

It appears to be acceptable for many speakers. I, a not-so-young speaker of British English, use the expression only in the sense of 'not go to bed': I'll be home very late tonight; don't wait up for me.
