(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.
