peeps

Furtive quick glances

Peeps is informal for people, especially one's friends or social circle: I'm heading out with my peeps.

The word carries warmth and familiarity.

Separately, peeps are quick, high-pitched sounds—the cries of young birds or similar noises.

To peep is to make such a sound, or to look quickly and furtively: She peeped through the curtains.
