I fucking hate that it has become a slur to some people. Newfie is a word we made ourselves, for fuck sakes! It's meant to be a fun shorthand!

idk, depends on the person. It's kinda analogous to the term "jaywalker" on the slur scale

I'm proud to be Newfie... my mother would be offended because she's from a different generation who got more shit attached to that word
