A slang term for a person of Newfoundland, Canada's most easterly province. Mostly used by ignorant people or those who think the name is cute. The term is based on the belief that people from this province are dumb, uneducated, barbaric, poor, lazy and unemployed. Like all stereotypical phrases, it is far from the truth and as previously stated based on ignorance. Most Newfoundlanders find this term offensive. However, there are others who use it themselves.
Hey, listen to that accent! You must be a Newfie!

A shorting for Newfoundlander. Newfoundland is the most eastern province in Canada. Newfies speak Newfoundland English which is a mix of several accents and dialects of English. But remember some Newfoundlanders don't like being called Newfies by Americans or sometimes other Canadians.
Person 1: So you're from Newfoundland?
Person 2: Yep, I'm a Newfie.

The Newfoundlander's equivalent of the word "nigger"
That is to say, Newfoundlanders can call themselves and other Newfoundlanders "newfie" but if anyone who is not from Newfoundland uses it, it is considered offensive.
Newfie 1: How are you George?
Newfie 2: Great, I love being a Newfie
Non-Newfoundlander: You Newfies crack me up!
Newfies: Watch your mouth.

A person who lives in Newfoundland, usually goes by the name of Brandon, this Brandon character, is in denial about talking like a "newfie" even though we know that he probably sounds like an alien to the people who live on the westcoast. But, newfies are loved, always. <3

Simply put: it's fried bologna. Just get a slice of bologna, fry it up in a pan. You've got yourself some Newfie steak.
It's usually a breakfast food but it's a quick snack if you're into that sort of food.
"Man, I've got the munchies. Think I'll go fry myself up a Newfie steak."
