Eep

[JackBauer]

What does this mean?

I stole this from someone on the moderated newsgroup. Hope they don't mind. ;)

Not quite a PEEP just an EEP. JMS promised that he wouldn't utter
a peep about something but he gave us an -eep not quite a peep but
more than silence. Eeps are almost always good news.

From the horse's mouth:

(Longtime followers of the various news groups know that an eep means that something significant has happened, but that I can't talk about it...the eep is just a way of saying, on the QT, that something has, indeed, happened and it's real, not just speculation or maybe-gonna-happens. So on that basis, you may consider this an eep.)

----------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, jms has this to say about why 'eep'

As for Eep, I guess I picked it because it's so small that you might miss it, it was vague enough not to get me in trouble, and it's kind of a mouse sound.

-------------------------------------------------------------

And, finally, this word of warning from jms which comes at a time when B5 was being concidered for renewal ...

But y'see, the Eep is only used when I know for sure it's renewed and can't say so. Now it's renewed and I can say so, and I was away for the very brief in-between...to misuse the power of the Eep is a serious infraction.

I hope this clears things up a bit!

:D :D :D :D
