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).

I appreciate the point that several have made that a term that sounds just like gypsy
isn't a reasonable substitute. Fair enough. The search continues...
