What is a "Peeps"?

[Alex]

And what does it do?

[nuthead53]

peep as in small person. so 'peep's' is the plural of peep

[Guest Kether]

It's a pluralised colloquialism meaning people.

Nope, it's an abuse of apostrophes. You mean "peeps".

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

[Alex]

I call a group of people, a "group of people".
