Call yourselves whatever you want. You’re the best kind of people, and the rest of Canada enjoys your company.
The accent (dialect) is amazing. I hear Scots, Irish, and similarities to southern U.S. and hightider. One can see, through accent and dialect, the origins of early North American colonists. Being of Ulster-Scots descent, with ancestors who came to N. America in the late 1600s, this sort of thing speaks to me.
I just love that man at 1:10. What a personality.
I use either word, depending on who I'm speaking with. I am living in and a resident of New Zealand now, so if I were to say "Newfie" to someone here, they wouldn't understand.
ask that question to a labradorian and see what happens, lol
You're a Labradorin like my grandmother and grandfather and their family history.
You'd have to find one first
I was looking for the dog breed and I ended up here.
My Father is 96 and he finds the word "Newfie" insulting... So I am siding with the greatest person I have ever known. I AM A NEWFOUNDLANDER !!
I’m a newfie
@@JessJess347 yes boi, I's a Newfie too
I lived in Alberta from 1980 to 1988 locals there used it in a derogatory way.
Yup exactly people who didn't experience it or are too young to remember it are obviously not gonna understand why its offensive.
I lived in ontario for 20 "odd" years(1980 to 2008)...very DEROGATORY indeed
They’re all townies
As Allan Doyle (Great Big Sea) once remarked regarding 'mainlanders saying "Yis b'y!" after St. John's Ice Caps goals because the locals did, "It's what's in your heart when you say it."
I'm pretty sure Bourdain's heart was in the right place.
Absolutely. Like most things, it is all about context.
My Jesus now! Newfie/Newfoundlander....I loves you guys! You're the best 🤗
It's common knowledge across Canada that Newfoundlanders are the kindest and greatest people in the Country...so be proud people...Denis from Calgary Alberta...
Goofy Newfie she doesn’t even realize that’s offensive
1:45 Teddy from the George Streeters?
my grand mother was a newfoundlander from half way point
Read the closed captions! They're hilarious!
I got tears in my eyes! LMFAO
the "N" word that is ok to say.
Whats up ma
*N E W F I E*
I married a Newfie & got Screeched in, so I consider myself an honorary Newfie.
I'm from the UK & Newfie is not derogatory term over here (as far as I know)
I normally try to stay out of these things because it just adds drama, but "Goofy newfie" is the derogatory term. They don't mean your "goofy" they usually mean your stupid. Also another term in Canada for goofy is pedophile (jail slang). I work with a person who was in jail and he told me what it means. I was born in Ontario, but my mother and father were born in newfoundland, they moved to Ontario to give my sister and I a better life. My neighbor called my dad a goofy newfie so my dad flipped out and knocked the neighbor out. I've been made fun of in Ontario schools growing up for being a newfie, even the teachers hated me, but I'm still proud of my family heritage. I have over 70 cousins in newfoundland (because Irish newfie family's are normally huge) next year im going to move with my family down home. I can't wait for it. I'm not offended by the term newfie unless they add "goofy" "stupid" or any other rude word in the same sentence.
I had no idea of how much importance the word newfie means to some people. I honestly use it as a way of saying newfoundlander but just shorter tbh. I love newfies, they are probably my favourite Canadians because of their personalities. It is so much different from what you experience in Ontario. I have also personally never used the word goofy as in a way to call someone stupid so if I have ever said goofy newfie in my life, I probs meant it in a way that meant that newfies are actually goofy. Meaning, like, fun. It sucks to hear that you were made fun of in your childhood but YOUR PROVINCE IS GREAT!!
@Robnoxious...Enjoy being home...I can’t wait to go home again someday. Live the culture...Don’t let it die. Have fun with your Irish cousins🙂
Newfies are the best neoghbours one could ask for. Nobody I know uses it in a bad way. Just another fun way of saying newfoundlander! Cheers
If a Newfoundlander says "Noofinlanner", he's a Newfie.
I can't be loyal to one Newfoundland dog. I guess I'm a Newfoundlander'er 😄!
Most of the people who use the 'Newfie' word have no idea where and how it originated. Believe me it wasn't nice when they did it.
A word rooted in American anger
It originated during the Second World War, when the U.S. was constructing a naval base at Argentia, on the southwest coast of the island's Avalon Peninsula.
Newfoundlanders had been hired to help build the base, and a large percentage of the workforce quit, Baker says.
"One of the lieutenants, in complaining about the supposed lack of work ethic among the Newfoundlanders, compared them to African Americans using the n-word, and then used Newfie as that derogatory term, basically suggesting they're both lazy and useless.
call my self both but enjoy newfie
Tight
Makes me want a bread dinner knows
The word Newfie has never been used to refer to anyone from Labrador. Newfies are from Newfoundland, not from Labrador.
Still cringe hearing that term. I work with multi racial crew. Mainland white Canadian started this with me, went up face to face, said " cocky go over to Giles , A big colored dude and call him the " N " word. I feel the same with that term you call me. " Everyone was floored. All hands got on great after that for seasons.
What's a Herron chocher, my dad born in St. Johns was called that a lot by my ma
Newfie is not offensive. I was born and raised in Newfoundland for 14 years and everyone calls me a newfie and I dont see how newfie could be used in a bad way?? I miss home
Can hear alot of Irish in the way they speak.
1:42 Terry Ryan...
True Newfie they are all european descendant mostly English and irish
Some people will be offended by just about any word in the dictionary. You are born a Newfoundlander in Newfoundland so that makes you a NEWFIE. If you're not proud of where you come from move to a foreign country like up there in Canada. Than you would be a canuck , oh and I guess that would offend you to.
This comment is from a NEWFIE.
Newfie great people and great dogs
NEWFIE BY'
I'd take Newfie over being a 'Pegger any day
Newfie
Newfies comparing it to the n word is best Newfie joke ever. Not even close wow
Ummmm? I bet you’re not from the province are you?
Who cares😅😂🤣😂🤣
Newfie is just a short form of Newfoundlander. Mainlanders do not use the term as a derogative term, nor did they start the name, they only know this term from Newfoundlanders themselves. There are "some" mainlanders who look down their nose at people from the island because of the motley crue that came from the island that developed a reputation of drunkness and E.I. abusers. This has given anyone on the island a bad name (in the eyes of the narrow minded) whether you call yourself a "newfie" or "newfoundlander". How many newfoundlanders make fun of others, fat, immigrants, etc? All of them do. I AM NEWFIE 😀
Same as the other N word
Not even close lmao .. now that's the best Newfie joke I've ever heard lmao
Totally agree. Most of the people who use the 'Newfie' word have no idea where and how it originated.
@@roder51 enlighten us
Always uses Newfie
Don't involve Newfoundland in your damn identity politics.
