i don't think it means any of those.  and it has to be glossed as a noun.  it's just used to emphasize the thing that precedes the 〜の.  the gg5 entries are very likely too harsh for こんこんちき itself; the harsh translation seems to be derived from the rest of the sentence

Hi, since this word is used in the Japanese translation of Harry Potter books, I doubt it can mean anything as strong as this definition suggests.
