What does the word 「っぴい」 mean?


Here is the sentence containing the word.

> おことわりだね おまえみたいな 弱｛よわ｝ **っぴい** と組むなんて！
>
> やるんなら おれひとりでやらあ。

In my opinion, I think it would be transformation of the word 弾き or 'player'
but I'm not uncertain if it is correct because the word ends with 「い」. I have
searched on some dictionary sites but there is no one describing about it.




`～っぴ`/`～っち` is a sort of "suffix" which generates cute-sounding nicknames.
Think of it as an rough equivalent of `-ie` as in _doggie_ , _walkie-talkie_ ,
etc.

  * へたっぴ (下手【へた】 + っぴ, clumsy person)
  * [けろけろけろっぴ](http://www.sanrio.co.jp/character/keroppi/) (けろけろ + っぴ)
  * [たまごっち](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi) (たまご + っち)

弱っぴい itself is not common (probably I haven't seen this before), but it should
simply mean "weak boy/guy".
