This is a spot to keep track of the word "Newfie", as it comes to my attention through Google News Alerts. I kept a tally like this for a few months elsewhere and eventually let it slide. Today's news alert however comes all the way from India, and it seemed like a good time to give 'er another go. Enjoy.
From what looks like the travel blog section of TopNews comes this glowing review of the natural beauty to be felt and seen along the East Coast Trail. The only problem? Newfies.
If it has any fault at all, then the locals are it. The "Newfies," as Newfoundlanders are sometimes called, will impede a hiker by thoughtlessly engaging him in conversation, offering him Screech - a kind of rum - and telling him jokes.
