Slang or colloquial?
Regarding the content I just added: should it be "slang" or "colloquial"?

Update: I think I messed up. It was already mentioned under "Etymology 2". But shouldn't there be a mention of slang or colloquial? The Wikipedia disambiguation page for peeps list it as:

Slang for people.

 * Yes, I would say that it is slang rather than colloquial. —Stephen 18:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: (19th century) People. Since this is the same as the first sense this is just asking for verification that it was used in the 19th century. DTLHS (talk) 03:33, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd just merge the defns. Yeah, we might be able to find proof it was popular in the 19th century, and then the term went into disuse and was revivified again. --XY3999 (talk) 09:48, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedied, as it's incorrect to have a separate "sense" which is identical to the main sense just because the word can be antedated. If quotations from the 19th century or earlier can be found, can be updated. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:15, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
