Plain Talker Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 nebbing and pyking both mean " not looking " I think?? They both mean looking, but in a "nosy" (nebbing) or "peeping" (pyking) sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinder Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) As a rule of thumb I would say, Pyking and peeking are the same thing, you can pyke or peek.. Nebbin/Nebbyin is uninvited looking... Having a Neb/Nebby, having a look.. Edited June 19, 2012 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
