sorry but i have to correct you,davy."peer" means "those who are of the same age of you", eg., your classmates.so "peer pressure" means there is no one who can compete with you, and that you don't feel any pressure coming from your friends,schoolmates, etc..<br><br>but still, <!--emo&(F)--><img src='https://www.kaiyuan.info/bbs/html/emoticons/rose.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rose.gif'><!--endemo-->

The word "peer" here is simply a wordplay that makes the joke. Without the Chinese notation it would have been perfect.
