lookee-likee

"lookee-likee" means an article that looks very similar to or the same as the genuine article. It is one of many casual words teens pick up from friends, social media, music or sport, and on its own it carries no particular warning. If you hear your teen use it, it is fair to ask what they mean by it in their friend group, since meanings drift quickly. Asking out of curiosity rather than alarm tends to keep the conversation open and useful.

"lookee-likee" is informal English meaning an article that looks very similar to or the same as the genuine article. It is mainly heard in British English (and Irish English). A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "an article that looks very similar to or the same as the genuine article" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "lookee-likee" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing.
