The term stems from the perceived nature of said immigrants brain bucket. . and I mostly heard the term used by other 'square heads'. Only once did I hear it from 'outsider' when after seeing my last name on my Coast Guard uniform he said with a smile "Sorensen eh? you know you square heads make the best sailors" and I must admit we are the best sailors.
He's just sad because he has no beer. Your post had nothing to do with it.

I thought square head means someone that's cool under pressure, not a Scandinavian person. But they do have square chins and large foreheads looking like a square head
