What is a Coot?

[USC_fanboy04]

LoL, sorry but after reading the Clempson boards i've noticed that "coot" seems to be our nickname, anyone know how this originated and what exactly it implies?

I dont have a clue.

I guess they think this is what a Gamecock should look like..but, it's a duck. :rolleyes:

Well if you go to Clemson the saying must be a little different than what we're used to.

There, it's "if it looks like a duck and talks like a duck...it must be a coot." :rolleyes:

a coot is just another way of saying uneducated crazy hillbilly.

a coot is a loud ass little bird that looks kinda like a duck . they dont seem to know how to get out of the way of moving vehicles because i bet i hit one every time i go across the causeway at our local lake
