"Newfie", however, is often considered far less derogatory than "Newf", if derogatory at all, as many Newfoundlanders refer to themselves as Newfies—either in seriousness or in jest; "Newf" is more associated with the insult "Dumb Newf" and, thusly, is very rarely used by a Newfoundlander.

 Newfie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Newfie" is a colloquial term used in Canada for one who is from Newfoundland.
It was first recorded in 1942, in a dictionary of slang; at the time, "Newfie" was used to refer either to Newfoundland itself, or to the Newfoundlanders (who were also "Newfiers").
The "Newf" or "Newfie" terms are considered derogatory by many Newfoundlanders owing to their use in "Newfie jokes", typical Canadian ethnic jokes told and retold since the days of the bankruptcy of the Dominion of Newfoundland government during the Great Depression.
