coot (US usage)
1. A dark-gray water dwelling bird resembling a duck.
2. A foolish old man.
3. "Seeing how the USC football sucks so consistently, it seems rather offending to good poultry everywhere to call them Gamecocks, so a 'coot' is a much more realistic symbol for such an inept football program."
1) "Any coots arrested today?"
2) "He meant jorts, as in jean shorts; you know, the staple of every Coot's wardrobe."
But seriously, you could well be right - I can only think of basketballer Steven Adams who apparently "will receive a starting salary of at least NZ$2.2 million in his first year, rising to $2.4 million in 2015." Reid at $60,000 per week would be earning about 3 million $NZ per annum.
