Language Hat* writes about looky-loos. I know the word as a rather mocking way of calling out the nosey parkers, gawkers and rubberneckers. I know I've used it occasionally over the years, I certainly heard it growing up. Usually as a plural, too. As in 'a bunch of lookie-loos.'
Reminds me of this song, though.
*Because I love enthusiastic experts, and language. I rarely comment there, as I usually have nothing to add, but I soak it all in.

The LHat commenters can be a bit stroppy too. But I like the eclectic enthusiasms of the host and I am a regular lurker.
Nimble,
I always check in there, tend to skip the ones about Russian, though. Hat's a good guy.
