What does LOOKY mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
Used informally to draw someone's attention to something, as in "look here" or "look at this".
Looky works as a casual call for attention, most often heard in the set phrase looky here, which softens a command into something closer to friendly banter. Speakers reach for looky when they want to sound folksy or a little theatrical rather than simply saying look, and it often introduces a surprising or amusing sight. The word is also the root of looky-loo, an informal name for someone who slows down or stops just to stare, at a crash scene or an open house for example. Because looky is playful and regional in flavour, it rarely appears in formal writing.
