nabe

“I wouldn’t say these are certain times,” Martin Holdrich, senior economist at Woods & Poole Economics, said Monday in discussing NABE’s latest outlook.

When Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party chairman, criticized senior ruling party candidate Na Kyung-won over her alleged pro-Japanese views, he called her “nabe,” a combination of letters of her name and that of late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Nabe in Japanese means pot, whose Korean translation is “naembi,” which can be used as a derogatory slang term to refer to a woman with many sex partners.
