Usage notes

  • Note that historically the Bashkir traditionally follow the Sunni Islam and have never accepted Christianity. Historically, as part of the colonization by the Russian Empire, there have been repeated attempts by the czarist government to baptize them either forcedly or by offering economical incentives. Those individual Bashkirs who ended up baptized were typically ostracized from their home communities and were generally considered dead. Hence the general negative connotations and the expletive usage.
