/Sounds like "TOH" (as in "toll") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

A large amount of something, a ton. In Chile, toco is the informal way to express any notable quantity, whether it is objects, people, tasks, or trouble piling up.

Examples

There is a huge crowd lined up at the entrance.

Regional synonyms

An open bar at an event or party: unlimited drinks included in the ticket price. In Argentina, the canilla libre is practically a social institution, a staple expectation at weddings, quinceañeros, and private parties. If there is no open bar, people will notice and remember.
