DANVERS, Mass.—Who knew "Meep!" was a four-letter word? The utterance favored by bungling lab assistant Beaker of "The Muppet Show" has been banned at Danvers High School in Massachusetts after students said it to repeatedly interrupt school.

Principal Thomas Murray said the word was part of a disruption planned using Facebook.

The Salem News reports that parents recently got an automated call about "Meep!" from Murray. He warned them that students who said or displayed the word at school could be suspended.

Murray says the warning was needed because students didn't heed his "reasonable request" to stop the meeping.

Danvers High sophomore Melanie Crane says it doesn't mean anything in particular.

DO YOU AGREE WITH THEIR ORIGINS OF MEEP?

The sound Mel Blanc made for Road Runner is actually MEEP MEEP, but the WB-trademarked spelling of the catchphrase on merchadise and logos is BEEP BEEP.

I thought our use of meep came from our dissatisfaction with the term "meme" and also our love of Pingu.

I can only relate to people through Wikipedia articles.

I can't really remember why I started saying "meep". Maybe GENETIC MEMORY.
