English term or phrase: h.e.

English abbreviations (I think) for a sexual Japanese saying. This is a vital thing.

Japanese translation:naughty/indecent/lewd/pervert

Explanation:
The Japanese for this is エッチ (pronounced "ecchi"). I've seen it referred to simply as "H" before, but not as "h.e." There's a variety of ways to render this in English depending on the context (some listed above). Basically, it refers to a person with sex on his/her mind (a "dirty mind"), or the act of fooling around, petting, or even having sex. Again, it all depends on the context.
