Where The Nickname Comes From
There was no getting around it: Dean's hand-me-down sneakers just didn't fit Sammy anymore. Not even the pair he'd just grown out of.
In the shoe store, Dean slouched around playing half-heartedly with the foot-measuring things. In the car on the way home, he sulked. At home he sulked some more, watching Sammy tear around the front yard in his new sneakers.
"Dad says big feet means I'm gonna be tall," Sam announced, skidding to a halt by the porch. "Taller than you, even."
"Shut up. You will not."
"Will too." He bounced in place. "Bet I'll beat you in a race by next year."
"No way," Dean said, with all the scorn he could muster. "You're not gonna be tall. You're just a freak with big feet."
"Am not."
Grinning, now: "Like Bigfoot. Dad never told you, you're secretly a baby Bigfoot."
"I am not! Shut up!"
"Sam's just short for Sasquatch."
"It is not! Daaaad!"
It was months before Sasquatch stopped getting a rise out of Sam, and the habit of calling him that held on for another month or so and then tapered off.
By that time Dean was pretty much resigned to the idea.

*glees about gleefully*
I can SO see that. And I thought the nickname was AWESOME, especially how it was just dropped in so matter-of-factly.
(Must. Make. SPN. Icons.)

And yes, exactly -- the off-handedness of the nickname was what made me think it must be a very old one. I love my wee!Winchesters. :D
(...me too.)
