скоф, шкоф, щкоф

I got a new job last week and there's a Russian woman who works in the office. Today when I came in she called me what I think sounded like "young-skoff." I think she was speaking a Runglish hybrid—"young" because I'm a 16-year-old working with all adults and then "skoff" some sort of Russian suffix. I believe it was positive. The American woman in the office knew what it meant, also, probably from working with the Russian woman for so many years. I would assume it's spelled one of these three ways: скоф, шкоф, щкоф, and is just a Russian diminutive (like Spanish -ito/cito, Japanese -chan, etc.)

Am I right?

Well, it's a medical clinic so there aren't a lot of teens working there ;) I just help out in the medical records room so I don't have very much... Importance.
