BAKKO-RI ばっこり
Meanings
1. Internet slang suggesting doing something thoroughly and in large quantity—roughly combining the feel of BACCHI-RI and GATTSU-RI.
2. In Hokkaido dialect, an intensifier meaning very or really.
Examples
1. Grab a whole load of items.
ばっこりアイテムをゲットする
Dogmatic Opinion
BAKKO-RI is slang rather than a standard dictionary word. In an expression such as “ばっこりアイテムをゲットする,” it suggests getting plenty of items thoroughly and without holding back—almost grabbing everything you can.
Quite apart from that slang meaning, the sound of BAKKO-RI gives me a personal image somewhere between BAKKI-RI and BEKKO-RI: a dull impact, as if something were struck with a square piece of timber and dented. That makes me imagine a sentence such as “A stranger came up from behind and kicked me hard in the backside.”
That last image is purely my impression of the sound. It should not be mistaken for the dictionary meaning of BAKKO-RI.

For Japanese Learners
There is no fixed English equivalent for the internet-slang use. Depending on context, a whole lot, thoroughly, go all out, or load up on may capture it. In the Hokkaido dialect use, really or very may be enough. Importantly, the “dull impact/dent” image above is an impression of how the word sounds, not a standard meaning.
