Lucie, you are correct, "peeps" in Urban vernacular means people, friend, pal. I reckon if one of the friends was indeed a person named Tom, they could be a "peeing" Tom (chuckle) or a "peeping" Tom... :-)

The Easter "peeps" are marshmallow candies, sold in the United States and Canada, that are shaped into chicks, bunnies, and other animals. There are also different shapes used for various holidays.
