Newfie
The first edition of the "Gage Canadian Dictionary," published in 1983, and the second edition of the "Random House Unabridged Dictionary," published in 1987, both include usage notes describing the term 'Newfie' as offensive. However, neither the second edition of the "Canadian Oxford Dictionary", published in 2004, or the current edition of the "Dictionary of Newfoundland English", published in 1998, make such a mention. In March 2006, an Edmonton police officer was disciplined for using the word "Newphie" to describe the apprehension of an individual under the Mental Health Act.
