Does anyone know what the expression "Otts bocket" means?

In the movie, "The Time of Their Lives" starring Bud Abbot and Lou Costello, Costello's character has a favorite expression, "Otts bocket", or something like that. What does it mean, and what is it that he's actually saying? Thanks for all your help!

As the other answer's link says.. He actually says Odds Bodkins and copper pots (Gods Body and a referance to his trade as he is a tinker)

That is my favorite Abbot and Costello movie..
