The above is the link to the Dictionary of Newfoundland English, which I've posted a million times before but it never hurts posting it again.
Two of my own favourites that have migrated into my speech (and for some reason are not found on that site) are:
sook someone who whines a lot or acts like a baby, this can also be turned into the adjective sooky. Eg. "Our cat is a big sook; she just sleeps by the heater all day and then begs for food. Big sooky fuzzball."
streel Drag along or trail behind, as in "After she came out of the washroom she had toilet paper stuck to her shoe, streeling along behind her."
