I think having a word that sounds similar is an asset, not a liability.  I have used look-see quite successfully.  In years, few will know that a "look-see" used to be called as a G...  I have also used Walk 'round with no problem.  

My initial attempt was Hipsy, but Linda Leslie quickly, and prudently discouraged such usage.

I don’t see that if you substitute a term that ends with a long e it should be nixed just for that reason. OK, maybe kipsy might be considered just a euphemism. But "Look-see", as described by Susan Michaels, has the virtue of involving the fact that you are looking at the other person, and seeing them. Why shouldn’t we choose a term that’s easier to substitute and remember to use like “Look-see” instead of the bland, cold, bulky, impossible to shorten, “right shoulder round” (or left shoulder round).
