Another post....I know....
The Michigan Accent & Michiganders' Slang Words (click to read the whole article)
——excerpt from the above article——
Lookit! - This one is kind of tough to explain, but is
definitely something a lot of people around here use (I actually don't
do this anymore.) This is said when you find something cool or gross or
something that's, otherwise, worth a look. You say, "Lookit." I think
it's a combination of the words "Look at it" and is comparable to saying
"check this out."

This drives me bananas. Brian and I do not say it, but Connor has still picked it up and I find myself correcting him on a regular basis. "Look!" or "Look at it." are perfectly acceptable. "Look-it" is NOT.
If you do read the rest of the article it is kinda funny. I'm familiar with almost all of them except I didn't know some of the words for tourists....but I know we are trolls. :)
