It seems pretty clear that the first quotation uses the old sense and the next two are ambiguous, but from 1868 on micturition just means ‘urination’. A Wordorigins.org post mentions an NPR correspondent talking about someone on a bicycle “having a looky-loo”: The show’s host remarked that he believed it was the first time in NPR’s history that the term “looky-loo” had been broadcast. It made me smile. The term is quite common here in Oklahoma where, for example, after a tornado, there is sometimes a problem with traffic from all the “looky-loos”, or people “having a looky-loo” at the damage. I’ve always kind of thought it was a regional term, but perhaps it is more widespread. I distinctly remembered the occurrence, and had mentioned it immediately on my return, repeating what the traveller with his Bardolph nose had said, with my own answer; and so little did I suspect the true object of my “tempter ere accuser,” that I expressed with no small pleasure my hope and belief, that the conversation had been of some service to the poor misled malcontent. whiteplane - I am not sure that getting under the skin of salespeople is really something people should strive for. While there is nothing wrong with being a looky-loo, I think it a terrible thing to go into a store and waste a salesperson's time if you have no intention of buying anything.

KookyLoos are the latest surprise collectable mini dolls on the market! And, we were sent 2 from the BFF and Sunday Funday series for review. Empty, you were right the first time: micturition does just mean ‘urination’, as m-w.com, RHD2, AHD5, and ODO all agree. The OED, being a historical dictionary, says “= urination n.1. Originally also: an intense desire to urinate; excessive frequency or volume of urination; an instance of this (now rare, perh. obs.)” Here are the quotations: Mangers have a saying: There's buyers and there's liars. In other words, if someone doesn't buy, it's because the salesman believed that the customer was just looking, and the salesman didn't do a good job of converting the customer to a buyer. As @popcorn said, there's a good chance someone wants to buy in the future. The salesman's job is to get him to buy now.D. Have you not seen this Mr. Coleridge, or heard of, his haranguing and talking to knots and clusters of the inhabitants?—What are you grinning at, Sir? There is no reference in the OED to looky or lookie; I would have expected to find “Lookie-lookie!” under look. But there is a separate entry for nosy parker, dating it to 1890. The etymology is given as “Apparently nosy adj. + the surname Parker. Compare (especially earlier) allusive use as a proper name, apparently with reference to a (probably fictitious) individual taken as the type of someone inquisitive or prying (as perhaps also in quot. 1907)” That quotation, alas, is not very helpful by itself: The dolls have changing faces, where you can twist their faces around revealing different facial expressions (each doll has 3 different expressions). The dolls themselves are made from a hard plastic, and the accessories, the clothing and shoes rubber/silcone type, or the glasses or laptop were plastic. Here’s Coleridge on looky-lookies and nosy parkers, though of course not by name, from Chapter 9 of Biographia Literaria (italics and paragraphing mine):

D. But do you not know, that he has distributed papers and hand-bills of a seditious nature among the common people?I was a car salesman for a while. On most car lots, you have sales people and a sales manager. If a sales person reports to the sales manager that a customer is a looky-loo, he is usually in for a bad time from the manager. Asking a question or trying things on is OK, after all that is a huge part of retail, but purposely pestering someone with questions and problems you have with a product just to keep them honest is ridiculous. Often salespeople have no say in the pricing of the objects they are selling, and many don't even work on commission. Summer is looking forward to collect some more KookyLoos to grow her new collection. You can buy playsets like the Pop-Up Spa and Wardrobe playsets which come with more than 18 fashion accessories - all to add to your KookyLoos collection.
