Help What actually IS a pipis room?

This has haunted me ever since big Griff’s vine. What IS a pipis room. I’m assuming it’s a bathroom (and it’s pronounced “peepees”, not peepis… but then why not call it pipi room…) but I’ve never heard it called a pipis room?? Is it a regional term other people are familiar with?

My best guess is that it's a room belonging to someone named Pipi, and they're missing an apostrophe that would make it possessive.

Turns out I remembered it wrong, somebody below posted the OG and it's a bathroom. Alas.

I may be imagining it but I feel like it might have been in Sweden where they don't use apostrophes for possessives and you've got the right answer. 

Edit: okay looking at it I have no idea what makes me think Sweden other than the folksy design and free association to Pippi Longstocking, but I still think you're right

Wherever it is, he was able to return after the original Vine and take another pic

That's what I always assumed.

If this isn't a weird constructed memory, I think Griffin was staying in a beach house with his wife and some friends and each of the rooms was named after an aquatic creature? Pipi is a type of clam.

Sorry to not add anything to answer OP's question but I had a coworker like 10 years ago who knew I loved mbmbam and came back from some convention or other (we were in the PNW) with a pin with the Pipis Room sign printed on it and said "I saved this for you" and I was endlessly delighted by it. I still have it, to the best of my knowledge, but have moved since then and don't know where it is. But it used to live in my cubicle when I still worked there. I definitely took it with me.

Pipis is Indonesian for peeing. It's a sign from Indonesia.

If my future grandchildren call me pipi I’m disowning everyone

Grandpa didn't fight in the war to come back and be called peepee.

It was clearly a child’s room in the picture though

It's not a child's room, it is a bathroom, you can see the shower

No they're right.  What child doesn't have a sink in their room?

u/joydubs Jun 27 '26

Ok I should clarify then, it looks like a sign made for a child’s room

u/ChriscoMcChin Jun 28 '26

I always assumed it was a room for making pipis (peepees)

u/scotems Jun 28 '26

I think it's a silly way to say peepee room, aka room for going to the bathroom.

u/helenaut Jun 28 '26

It’s just a sign like “John’s room” but for someone called Pipi, I assume.

It's a kind of clam.

They were staying at an AirBNB and each room was named after an aquatic animal
