Kore means "this," koko means "here."

Anyway, I asked my teacher and he had no idea. The only thing he could think of was that maybe it showed some kind of pause, like a pause particle or something (you know, they have a particle that expresses emphasis, why stop there?). He's never heard anyone use it before, and he's lived in Japan for 3 years.
