11a Tipsy; Having overstepped one's mark.

Previous suggestion -- "A peepe out".

What does 'A Peepe Out' mean? Only reference I find it is to Shakespeare's (usage in multiple works) but link to being "Tipsy or having overstepped one's mark" is not clear. Any insights or alternate solutions?

Thanks
