(Geordie, slang) ; to look.
A Geordie (Northeast England) slang verb meaning to look or to have a look at something. It comes from the same family as "dekko," which spread across British slang via Romani and Hindi influence. If someone tells you to "deeky" something, they want you to cast your eyes over it — quick peek, no fuss. It's the kind of word that marks you out as a proper Geordie and barely registers outside Newcastle.
(Geordie) To look.
(Scotland) A look, especially a quick one; a peek.
