Actually that's not the word Pistol uses in his speech to the disguised king, which runs as follows:

The king's a bawcock, and a heart of gold,

A lad of life, an imp of fame;

Of parents good, of fist most valiant.

I kiss his dirty shoe, and from heart-string

I love the lovely bully. What is thy name?

The word is "bawcock", not "ballcock". "Bawcock" comes from the French "beau coq", a handsome rooster, a fellow who is handsome and knows it.
