Cockshutt was originally from England, and according to my English wife, the English still say "Cock-shoot".

That first syllable has different effects on different people. I have heard guys who are a little ribald, generally, corrupt the name to "cock-shot". Others, who are uncomfortable with it, say co-shoe ("co" prounounced as in "co-pay"). Correct way is as KRM posted.
