Sure we use this word, but it's un-PC. It's like saying Yid in American English. The proper term is jud.

I can see that some speculation has been involved in the making of this maps, leading to a homogenization of the Slavic terms. For instance, as we see in
>>59253786
every Slavic word for flower has been make to be cvijet/cvjat/cvet, and while it is not lexically incorrect to say cvet in Slovene, this is still entirely the realm of 19th century poetry and a borrowed word at that.

Roža is the word for flower, and cvet is a flower petal, as well as a very polite metaphor for vagina.

But these maps are external and no amount of complaining to /int/ will set them right.

We do use it, but in a forms that are closer to the original (that describe the physical act of beating and not an abstracted term for mass armed conflict). In Slovene you've got:
