EN: to stand with hands on hips
The official pose of every Pinoy mom about to ask 'Saan ka galing?' or a Marites waiting for the latest chismis. It's a non-verbal cue that can mean anything from 'I'm tired of waiting for this jeep' to 'You're grounded for life.' Power pose level: Tita.
From `maN-` (verb prefix) + `bewang` (waist). The prefix and root combine in a specific phonological process.
Describes a very specific and culturally understood posture. The completed form is `namaywang`.
