    It's a pluralised colloquialism meaning people.

    Ah, I see.

     

    I wouldn't call a big person a peep for fear of getting beaten up.

    "peeps" is the 3rd person singular of the verb "to peep".

    My teenage daughter has been kidnapped, and the people I work with may be involved in both.

    I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer and this is the longest day of my life...

    but if you were going to meet a group of people, which included some 'big' people, you would still call the whole group peeps, as in "I'm going to meet some peeps there".

     

    as in, i met some peeps at gods last year, which included Don and Fin smile.gif
