Bad Conduct

“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, vacīduccaritāni.  “Mendicants, there are these four kinds of bad conduct by way of speech.
Katamāni cattāri?  What four?
Musāvādo, pisuṇā vācā, pharusā vācā, samphappalāpo—  Speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical.
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri vacīduccaritānī”ti.  These are the four kinds of bad conduct by way of speech.”

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
