Umm, no

Today a Scottish woman told a table of people that the expression chock-a-block had the same root as çok, which is Turkish for 'very' or 'a lot of'. 

Umm, no. The former is originally nautical and at least 500 years old in English. The latter is Turkish and almost certainly comes from Arabic or Persian.

I don't care that you've been living in a Turkish village for five years and fancy yourself immersed and authentic. You are still an idiot.
