History
From Hokkien 冰 (peng, “ice”).
Etymology unknown, attested in the UK c. 2000. Documented possibilities include: * From Jamaican Creole kushempeng (“high-quality marijuana”). * From a clipping of penguin (“flightless sea bird”), deemed quintessentially cute. * From Cantonese 又平又靚 /又平又靓 (jau6 peng4 jau6 leng3, “cheap and also good quality”), see also 平靚正 /平靓正 (peng4 leng3 zeng3, “low cost, high quality”), often heard from hawkers in major Chinatowns.
Borrowed from Mandarin 彭 (Péng).
From romanizations of the Mandarin pronunciation of Chinese 鵬 /鹏 (péng).
