an american male, or male whom acts like an american. used in eastern canada and parts of quebec. strangely, most people from saskatchewan and alberta are sasquatches. (supposedly) derives from the latin term "canus americanus" and was used as a code word by the mexican mafia to refer to CIA agents. sasquatch does not seem to apply to *southern* americans, who are talkative and funny -- the hallmark of the sasquatch is being quiet and angry. in rare cases, women can be considered sasquatch. e.g. lindsay lohan, rosie o'donnell, the cast of 'sex and the city'. a wombat is a baby sasquatch.
