Kaffir, kaffer, kaffir, kafir, kaffre, kuffar


a. (South Africa) a black person.
b. also caffer or caffre: a non-Muslim (regardless of race).
c. a member of a people inhabiting the Hindu Kush mountains of north-east Afghanistan. Origin is from the Arab word
kafir meaning infidel used in the early Arab Zanzibarian trading posts on the Indian Ocean coast in Africa to refer to the
non-Islamic black people living in the interior of Africa. The term is still used as a pejorative by some Muslims,
particularly Islamists in such a context. The term passed into modern usage through the British because on early
European maps Southern Africa was called by cartographers Cafreria (the name derived from the Arab word "kafir")
and later Kaffraria. Thus the British used the term "kaffirs" to refer to the mixed groupings of people displaced by
Shaka when he organized the Zulu nation. These groups (consisting of Mzilikaze, Matiwani, Mantatisi, Flingoe,
Khoikhoi, and Xhosa peoples inhabited the region from the Cape of Good Hope to the Limpopo river) fought the British

Nusayri
(Syria and the Levant) a member of the Alawite sect of Shi'a Islam. Once a common and neutral term derived from the

century due the perception that it implied a heretical separateness from mainstream Islam.[164] Resurgent in the context
of the ongoing Syrian Civil War, the term is now often employed by Sunni fundamentalist enemies of the government of
Bashar al-Assad, an Alawite, to suggest that the faith is a human invention lacking divine legitimacy.[165]

(South Wales) Often used to describe a person from Llanelli. The origin of this is uncertain, some theories suggest it
due to Llanelli's popularity with Turkish sailors in the late 19th to early 20th century or possibly when Turkish migrants
heading for the US stopped in Llanelli and decided to settle due to there being jobs available, however most likely it's

as Turks.[235]

. Jewfaq.org. Retrieved 1 November 2013. "There is nothing inherently insulting about

the word 'goy.' In fact, the Torah occasionally refers to the Jewish people using the term 'goy.' Most notably, in Exodus 19:6,
God says that the Children of Israel will be 'a kingdom of priests and a holy nation,' that is, a goy kadosh. Because Jews have
had so many bad experiences with anti-Semitic non-Jews over the centuries, the term 'goy' has taken on some negative
connotations, but in general the term is no more insulting than the word 'gentile.'"
