Has anybody ever heard this word? A Mexican friend says her parents used to use the word on their children but she doesn't know what it meant.

Sure! it's very common to call a naughty, overactive kid "ESCUINCLE"
this is similar to bratt, but in a very familiar environment.

xoloescuincle is an old kind of mexican dog, known for being small, ugly and with a high pitch bark, similar to chihuahua but ugly.
