The standard contemporary form for clubs is TREFY (NOT trefi, for the last
letter resembles the Nautilus workout grunt, not "ee" as in "eek").  The
alternate form, attested by Dal' (see TOLKOVYI SLOVAR') is KRESTY (again,
hard "y" sound, and stressed).   An even rarer and outmoded alternate form
is ZHLUDI.  Requiescat in pace, ladno?

No, definitely no peace - until we know something about how the usage
varies (as hinted at by an earlier seelangovka). Age? Geography? Sex?
'Class'? Education?
