Georgian profanity (Georgian: ქართული ბილწსიტყვაობა, romanized: kartuli bilts’sit’q’vaoba)[a] refers to inflammatory vulgar, obscene or profane language in Georgian and a specialized, extreme subset of Georgian slang.

The Georgian Orthodox Church have traditionally been very critical of Georgian profanity, describing it as “words of death and Satan“,[2] that will result in “severe punishment by God“.[3][b] According to The Georgian Chronicles, King David IV “the Builder” during his reign “destroyed”[6] all the moral and verbal “irregularities”[7] like the “satanic songs, acting, pleasure and profanity”.[8]
