Usage Note

Reluquer is informal; it implies staring at someone or something with obvious desire or curiosity. It is more overtly sexual or covetous than regarder (to look at) and carries a slightly vulgar register. The noun un reluqueur (someone who ogles) exists but is rarely used.

Examples

"Il ne cessait pas de reluquer la vitrine."

Natural Translation

He kept ogling the shop window.
