(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.
SLO:

ne, drugi Salko z Marsa, si neumen? seveda Salko!
o, v redu, no ne, danes ga nisem videl

An insult for immigrants from ex-yugoslavia states living in Slovenia. Since Slovenian people have superiority complex they often associate people from ex-yugoslavia with cheap workforce or barbaric culture.
