Cheeps

/tʃiːps/ noun

Definition

Plural of cheep; multiple short, high-pitched bird sounds or the birds making them.

Etymology

Plural of 'cheep,' the onomatopoetic word for bird sounds. Can function as either noun (the sounds themselves) or verb (to make those sounds).

Kelly Says

The word 'cheeps' is wonderfully ambiguous—you can count the sounds ('I heard three cheeps') or the animals making them ('The cheeps woke me at dawn'), showing how English blurs the line between sounds and things.
