Guest Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 For sheer euphony, I'm fond of the Tajik-language name, "Golub-Yavan" = wild man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Contrary to popular belief, 'Sasquatch' is not a First Nations Canadian name. It is the anglicized version of 'Sesqec', it was anglicized by J.W. Burns (I'm pretty sure everyone knows the story). And Bigfoot and Sasquatch are both good names, however I'm going have to go the way of John Green and Rene Dahinden and use Sasquatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jodie Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I use both depending on how it sounds in the sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeman Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 we call them skunk apes in my neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Around here he is Skunk Ape. My cats are now brush apes or wood boogers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wood booger takes it. You can't say the name without grinning. "I do believe there's a booger in these woods." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 funny how some dislike " squatch" , idk, doesnt bother me. BF or sasquatch seem equally acceptable imo. but im southern, & the only "boogers" we usually speak of are the sinus variety still makes you grin though, & may even inspire the kids to laugh out loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah personally prefer Squatch/Sasquatch as well slicktrick. We Southerners have our own language and it tends to befuddle those from outside our parts. Take the word naked. In the general sense naked means someone not wearing clothes. But we can and do morph that into *nekkid* in the South. In the general sense this means someone sans clothes that is up to something. Probably regional as to what folks tend to call our hairy friends and I'm cool with lots of terms. *Bigfoots/Bigfeets* drives even me batty though.

bipedalist Posted March 27, 2012 BFF Patron Share Posted March 27, 2012 ....*Bigfoots/Bigfeets* drives even me batty though. Yep, use of these words just ain't natural..... sort of like ... "do you pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?" * * "Basically, you say something that sounds slightly ridiculous, slightly awful, and keep repeating it, and the suspect keeps denying it, getting more and more upset as you go on..... " (this guy had it right I think in this clip of the sayings derivation which can be in part analogous to Bigfeets/Bigfoots use I think) Basically, you say something that sounds slightly ridiculous, slightly awful, d keep repeating it, and the suspect ore upset as you go on. ....... Still, I ain't buying into it and won't use those words.... seems forced and foisted upon those who are gullible. It's sort of like the failed National Weather Service plan to force Western North Carolina into an artificial geographic weather region called the "West Carolinas".... which lasted about 18 months and went over like a lead balloon. I prefer Sasquatch (esp. for formal stuff).... sometimes will resort to BF, Bigfoot or squatch as the whim or situation dictates though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 so in some areas we could call it a "nekkid booger" & folks would know exactly what we meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I like both depending on the situation. I think The Bigfoot Forums sounds much better than The Sasquatch Forums. But then there are certain times Sasquatch just seems to fit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I like to use the word Sasquatch not only because to me it's more bona fide. As in, it seems more scientific and as mentioned above, makes it sound like it exists. I think Bigfoot just sounds a bit silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I use either word depending on the person I am talking to. My niece loves to use the word squatch because she absolutely loves Bobo from Finding Bigfoot. I will say that Sasquatch sounds more like something out of a nightmare than Bigfoot does! Something about that word has always seemed creepy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
