How do you destroy-and-can't-be-regenerated cards in your library?
I use the more general meaning of "bury", also seen on Call of the Wild, which is "put into its owner's graveyad". :)
So, mill. That word exists now : )
Mill refers only to cards from library, discard only to cards from hand, sacrifice only to permanents and they are all keyword actions first, and there is also die which is passive and only refers to a subset of permanents.
Bury is the all-encompassing superclass for all of these and synonymous to "put into the graveyard" e. g. for Mulch-like effects that don't actually specifically mill. It is also used actively and passively and triggers on all zone transitions to the graveyard as appropriate to the wording of the card.
As a result "Whenever you bury a creature card" and "Whenever you mill a creature card" are two very different conditions.
