peepoSip

The peepoSip emote depicts a childlike version of Pepe the Frog (known as Peepo) happily sipping from a purple drink. This emote is part of the larger family of Peepo emotes that have become extremely popular on Twitch and other streaming platforms.

The emote conveys a sense of casual enjoyment, satisfaction, or sometimes smugness while observing something happening on stream. The purple drink element adds a layer of relaxation and casual observation to the emote's meaning.

The peepoSip emote was first uploaded to BetterTTV (BTTV) on September 14, 2018, by a user named ArsenGb. It was later submitted to FrankerFaceZ (FFZ) on October 21, 2018, by a user called Blaustamp.

Like all Peepo emotes, peepoSip is derived from the broader Pepe the Frog meme, which originated from Matt Furie's 2005 comic series "Boy's Club." The Peepo variation specifically evolved from poorly-drawn versions of Pepe known as "Apu Apustaja" (Help Helper) that gained popularity on imageboards like 4chan. These simplified, childlike drawings eventually developed their own identity as "Peepo" emotes on Twitch.

The first Peepo emote (peepoCheer) appeared in mid-2017, with peepoSip following in late 2018 as the family of Peepo emotes expanded to express various emotions and actions.

The peepoSip emote is commonly used in Twitch chat in the following situations:

• When viewers are enjoying drama or interesting developments on a stream
• To express satisfaction about something happening
• When reacting to juicy gossip or revelations
• To indicate that someone is casually enjoying the content while relaxing
• During moments of tension or anticipation, similar to "grabbing popcorn" to watch events unfold
• When a streamer or chat member makes a good point or "spills the tea"

The emote has become quite popular across Twitch, being used in 418 sets on FrankerFaceZ and appearing in 161 channels on BetterTTV, making it a recognizable part of Twitch's visual communication culture.
