You’ve heard ciboulot, which originally is the name of a small onion. It’s sometimes used figuratively for “head” or “brain” in popular language.
Six boulots could be six escargots. There is a type of snails that it called boulot. In the U.S sometimes we see it sold in fancy seafoods market and it comes from Canada.
Au Québec, ciboulot est utilisé en tant que juron comme dans la phrase: “Il a été rapide en ciboulot” signifiant: il a été vraiment très rapide.
