  1. brain-dysfunction on

    Could be Kotaleti (“eti” suffix in Georgian is like “stan”), so Kotals’ land? I don’t know

  2. Looks like a botched version of ruSSian “котлеты” (minced meat patty)…

    I want to cry now… GD you MoFo.

  3. It’s a mix of two Polish words: kot (cat) and kotlet (cutlet) = kotalet (cat’s cutlet). Something like smog in English (smoke + fog).

  4. Perhaps the word has a Laz etymology. You could ask the Laz people if they remember it — their language is gradually disappearing. Laz belongs to the Kartvelian ( Georgian) family of languages, but this particular word doesn’t appear to exist in Georgian, as far as I can remember it.
