A completely
made-up word used as an affectionate nickname for a pet within a family
circle. May be "meepis" itself, or any other
made-up word that doesn't exist in the current lexicons.
Ex. 1:
"This is my dog Pringles, and she's my beloved meepis."
Ex. 2:
"Look at my
cat and how much of a schplorble he is."
"...'Schplorble'? What kind of meepis is that?"
