Georgian profanity

Georgian profanity (Georgian: ქართული ბილწსიტყვაობა, romanized: kartuli bilts'sit'q'vaoba) refers to inflammatory vulgar, obscene or profane language in Georgian that some of the words and phrases even evolved into a modern Georgian slang.

The Georgian Orthodox Church have traditionally been very critical of Georgian profanity, describing it as "words of death and Satan", that will result in "severe punishment by God". According to The Georgian Chronicles, King David IV "the Builder" during his reign "destroyed" all the moral and verbal "irregularities" like the "satanic songs, acting, pleasure and profanity".
