Sth. like "Kuckuck!" for us. Not sure if this is common in Neufünfland, though. |

Most common useage in the US is really the child's game, where a child (or adult) hides behind their hands, uncovering one or both eyes for a second, while an adult (or similar) says "Peek-A-Boo" !
That should about cover it - or uncover it: Peek-A-Boo! |

Or the child hides and then leaps out from his/her "hiding place" in plain view next to the couch and yells, "Peek-a-Boo!" giving an obviously terrible fright to the adult. Or the adult spoils the fun and says first, "Peek-a-boo, I see you!" and the child argues that s/he still wins the game.
Or you play with feathered children, like my parrot, who climbs out from under the blanket I put over her head and says, "Peek-a-boo" as her head emerges. Or says, "Peek-a-boo" so I will remove the blanket. We have variations on all our games; she's always either narrating or demanding action ;-)
Any image involving something/someone not quite hidden or spotted in a hiding place would be a safe bet. For my vote, anyway (does anyone else's opinion count?).
I don't know nuthin' about those peek-a-boo outfits y'all mentioned. I'm sticking to respectable interpretations ::she said in her very best ladylike voice:: |

I think people will tend to vote with the child's game idea in mind. I'm not saying they should, but I think that will likely happen.

I agree! If I was trying to go for a respectable score, I wouldn't dare use any of the other interpretations. |

Of course, there's always Picabo Street...
"Her given name was inspired by the nearby Idaho town of Picabo, Idaho, (pronounced "PEEK-uh-boo"), which in turn takes its name from a Native American word meaning "shining waters"." |

Personally, I would vote against this since the Challenge is Peek-a-Boo... not picabo. But, that's just one opinion.
I'll vote for the child game as that's what's normally meant by "Peek-a-boo" in my opinion.
It's definitely a fun topic to think about. :)

Perhaps you could broaden your interpretation to include others. When I just searched Google images for "peekaboo," the children's game was the 8th picture, not the first (note that I have safesearch set to show all images).

I've met her. She's a lovely person, but driven, and a seriously fit woman. |

One of the first things I thought about when I saw this challenge was "Picabo Street" and the challenge details state "Let your imagination run wild!"... it disturbs me when people vote against or lower their votes on a technically great picture that definitely falls into the challenge description.
My thoughts on voting go something like this... I figure if it didn't get disqualified, it deserves a fair vote. I try to vote on technical basics (level horizons, rule of thirds, focus, etc...) first, then weather I find the picture interesting/engaging, and that's about it. Not sayin everyone is supposed to vote like I do... just thought I'd put it out there.
