Newfie
Atlantic province native
Newfie is informal for a person from Newfoundland, Canada, or the distinctive English dialect spoken there.
The term can be affectionate or mildly disparaging depending on context.
Newfie jokes, a genre of humor depicting Newfoundlanders as unsophisticated, have made some view the word as offensive, though many Newfoundlanders embrace it: I'm a proud Newfie.
