People who are employed during election campaigns to rally support for candidates from campaign trucks equipped with loudspeakers have been known as ³Ü²µ³Ü¾±²õ³Ü-Âᨠ¡ª meaning ¡°bush warbler ladies¡± ¡ª because the task has typically been assigned to women with melodious voices.
In recent years, however, they have been increasingly referred to as ²õ³ó²¹Âá¨-³Ü²Ô»å¨¾±²Ô (campaign staff on vehicles) due to gender considerations.
