EN: godless
Literally, this is an atheist. But in the Philippines, your lola would call you this if you miss Sunday mass once. It's also used to describe someone so evil, it's like they have no fear of divine punishment. "Ninakawan na nga yung matanda, binugbog pa? Walang-Diyos talaga!" It's a way of saying someone has crossed a major moral line.
From 'wala' (none, without) + 'Diyos' (God).
Has two main uses: the literal, neutral term for an atheist, and the common, figurative, and highly negative term for a wicked or cruel person. The capitalization of 'Diyos' is often retained.
