Apparently
- squarehead is an "Extremely Disparaging and Offensive" term for a German/Dutch/Scandinavian person
- porch climber is a term for a thief (bc you climb up the porch to sneak in the window?)
My family always used blockhead (still do sometimes). My grandfather was Norwegian.
I mean, they say "blockhead" in Peanuts. It can't be ludicrously insulting right? Or was Lucy essentially using the hard-R right in front of our eyes?
I wonder if that's where this character got his name from. He's from around the same time period
porch climber
that's too close to porch monkey
Those terms seem to be unrelated, see here: https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/hugtd2y
