I think it may just be poor-man's slang for "picture":

http://www.google.com/search?q=piccu+-macc...u+-machu+-maccu
(extra search terms only to help eliminate 'Macchu Piccu' results)

Which would be totally ironic, since "pic" is already a standard abbreviation for "picture" (and is two letters shorter). :huh:

But then again, a lot of people are fans of "piccie" too.

They say it because it makes it sounds Japanese ish. Or something.

Much like saying "stuffu" or "Meri Kurisumasu".

If you can't find a Japanese word, talk in Engrish. Such is the mind of a Wapanese.

That explanation is as good as any. A lot of English words that end with consonant sounds, their Japanese pronunciations often have an "u" sound on the end so that it fits with the Japanese alphabet. E.g., Sonic -> Soniccu (So Ni Ku), so Pic > Piccu (Pi Ku)

wow thats amazing you can find and have an entire conversation all for the word "piccu" , I admit though that is a weird word to use.
