No, it's a French weird, beaucoup, that has made its way to English vernacular. For example, "merci beaucoup" means "thanks a lot."

Either the OP doesn't know that, or didn't bother actually looking up the spelling.

Huh. Well yeah I never knew that either, growing up in the South that was a pretty common saying with a similar spelling to how I wrote it originally(being the south the misspelling makes total sense now haha). Nice to know where it comes from though. Thanks for the info!
