In Hero's Quest / Quest for Glory I (1989), meeps were cute furry creatures that lived in holes under flat rocks. They are mostly a round furry face/body with long, thin arms and legs. They are very strong and shy.
According to the game designers (Corey and Lori Cole), meeps were originally inspired by the game Whack-a-Mole and by the signature "hermit" cartoon Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits used to draw as an autograph.
Currently meeps are the "mascots" of The School for Heroes (www.theschoolforheroes.com).
The most versatile word in the English language, or in fact any language!
Can mean whatever you want it to mean, but the most popular uses are:
1. An exclamation akin to 'ouch' or 'uh oh..'
2. Filling in the blanks where other (rude) words would go.
3. A greeting! I personally say meep instead of Hello...
4. A random expression of happiness used to fill gaps in conversation.
Meep can be used to describe any emotion. It's less of a sound and more of a vibe, so its definition will depend on the person using it. It is also a very nice word to yell if you are stressed. Common uses include:
1. Manner to avoid conversation
2. Manner to get attention
2. Expressing emotion of alarm or angst
3. Expressing emotion of discomfort
3. Susie: Hey, you know we have 2 labs and 3 assignments due tonight, right?
Amanda: Yep! It's fine! Haha! Meep!
Bonus Scenario: Mimi has been stressed out for her final exams the entire day. She looks around to make sure nobody is there to hear her, takes a deep breath, and screeches "MEEP!!". She suddenly feels like it will be okay, because she let out all the pent-up stress.
