Cholo is Mexican for "trailer trash". Any connection?
Neither m-w nor AHD recognize chologogue.

As a jest, Faldage, your suggestion that I would mislead members, acts as a "chologogue" on me.
It provokes a choleric mood, a temptation to vent my bile on you.

Cholos do eat a lot of jalapeņos.

If you gave a cow both a lithalogue and a galactalogue who knows what would happen?

Galactogogue is an acceptable word.
"Galactogogue, special foods, herbs or rituals, that are believed to increase milk supply are used almost
universally"
Incidentally, that site mentioned "colostrum". In all newborn vertebrates, it is important that they get
the first milk the mother secretes. It is loaded with proteins prtotective against common infant infections,
and also has a lot of fat necessary to meet infant's early high caloric requirements.
However, the colostrum of cows if given to humans is not enjoyable, and likely to act as
"defecagogue", off-the-cuff coinage for diarrhea.

Webster Lake, not too far from here, is also called by the Indian name "Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamogg."* I hear that qualifies three times over :-) *(and no, it doesn't mean what you heard it means). The best I could come up with is at
