The structure is a reduplicative phrase that combines "look" with a playful "loo" ending, evoking the image of someone peeking or lingering. It is used to describe someone who browses, observes, or inspects items without intending to buy, often wasting salespeople's time or crowding a store. People typically say "Just a bunch of looky-loos today" or "Don't be a looky-loo" when frustrated by non buying customers.
