(Slovene, n.) A "čefur" is a pejorative word used against non-Slovenes within their own country. The word is a calque that came from "kaffir", which means disbeliever in Arabic. Usually, this word is used towards
ex-Yugoslavian
people that
work/reside in their country, such as Serbians, Croatians, Bosnians, Montenegrins, Macedonians, and Albanians. However, this word can also be used towards anyone that isn't even from Slovenia itself. In most cases, it's
seen as offensive and a word that you shouldn't ever use.
