looking over
Giving cursory examination
Looking over something means examining or reviewing it, typically in a casual or preliminary way.
You might look over a document before signing it, or look over someone's work to check for errors.
The phrase can also mean directing your gaze across or beyond something: She stood looking over the valley.
When you look someone over, you're sizing them up, assessing their appearance or capabilities.
