question about vulgar language

Can't Post | Private Reply
Hi...

I'm watching "Zoot Suit" as part of a Spanish class. Edward James Olmos, toward the beginning of the movie, says something like:

It was the secret fantasy of every "vato" living in or out of the "pachucada" to put on the zoot suit and play the myth. "Mas chucote que la chin****."

Question: what does the spanish phrase at the end mean. Or, more specifically, what does the word I'm writing as "chucote" mean? It could almost be "chuquote", but I don't think so.

Any time you might have for an answer will be much appreciated.
