peep

Soft nestling sound

Peep captures the idea of something small or brief.

A peep is a quick look, often furtive: I took a peep through the curtains.

To peep is to look quickly or partially: She peeped around the corner.

A peep is also a short, high-pitched sound made by a young bird or mouse—or by a person who barely speaks: I didn't hear a peep out of him all night.

Peeps are the people you're close to—your friends or crew: I'm hanging with my peeps this weekend.
