If any of them were anti-Celtic I have no understanding as to why since genetically speaking, Celts and Germanics are the same people.

I have never heard any of the nicknames you mention.


Sorry, you once said you were from somewhere in the East coast.

They smoke too much Cascadia gold and that transforms their heads.

Perhaps it's a Spanish thing

Of course you don't know!!!
Almost no Spanish knows that French call us Penguins!!!
And there are Catalans that ignore that Spanish call us Polacos, etc, etc.

I found this in the Urban dictionary (US):

square head 226 up, 73 down
Contrary to other beliefs, Square Head is not a reference to the WWII helmets that the Germans used. It is used in reference to the common shape in which many Germans heads are shaped. Dominating brow bones and a square jaw are what create this square look.
That square head ripped me off.

It seems that French Canadians also call Square Head to English speaking Canadians.

Absolutely not.

We are not from the same place and not even think alike on many issues.

In the point that we agree is that we do not like the European Union, but is a thought quite widespread in Spain for a couple of years.

You must be refering to the post where I said the swedish east and west coasts are nothing like the american ones.
I haven't said I am from the east coast, only that I know nothing about the weat coast.
I am a proud northerner.
