OP I know it's a bit late for this topic, but if anyone can help me track down a particular word, it'll bet you can.
Once, while on a walking tour of London, the guide used the term that everyone suffers, the compulsion we have to peer in the windows of other peoples houses.
No not 'peeping tom'.
You know if your walking down a street, especially at night when it's dark, if there's a house with the curtains open, one cannot help but look in as they pass by. You don't stop to look, but as you're passing, if you can see in you look. As I said, the tour guide mentioned the term for this & I cannot for the life of me remember what it is.
Can you help?
