Newspeak 

Contrived language of Oceania from George Orwell's "1984." It uses many English words, albeit with a greatly simplified vocabulary and sentence structure. The elimination of synonyms and antonyms helped this process. It was created in attempt to influence the thought of Oceania's citizens and make it impossible to express thoughts dangerous to Ingsoc (Newspeak for English Socialism). Today this is recognized as political correctness.

Examples:

Minitruth="Ministry of Truth" (Oceanian propaganda ministry)
Ungood="bad"
Doubleplusgood="excellent"
Doublethink=the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts at a time
B-B="Big Brother", ie the State

These translations give a rough estimate of some general rules when using Newspeak.
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.

Newfie steak

Simply put: it's fried bologna. Just get a slice of bologna, fry it up in a pan. You've got yourself some Newfie steak.

It's usually a breakfast food but it's a quick snack if you're into that sort of food.
"Man, I've got the munchies. Think I'll go fry myself up a Newfie steak."

The term "Newsted'd" originaly derived from the 2nd bass player for metallica Jason Newsted, and it can mean many things.

1) To replace something / someone and have it never live up to the expectations of the original thing / person.

2) To be a bass player in a band and have your bass almost completely cut out of the mix so that you can't hear it.

3) To be generically owned by someone else in the sense that the ownee was left out or isolated by the ownerer.
1) Oh man, i totally got newsted'd when i bought this new car my old one completely owns it.

Billy dumped his girlfriend Veronica because he felt totally newsted'd when he compared her to his previous girlfriend.
