A cheeky check is a quick, often sneaky little peek or verification done with a knowing wink — you're not supposed to be looking, or the timing is a bit brazen, but you do it anyway with a grin. It might be a discreet scroll through someone's Instagram at 1 AM, a subtle glance at an exam paper before time is called, or a quick peek at your phone mid-meeting. The cheeky component is key: a cheeky check isn't anxious or guilty, it's playfully audacious. Very at home in British and Australian slang, where 'cheeky' modifies all manner of harmlessly naughty behaviors.
