…or: PERSON PENIS DOWNWARD SPURTING and DETERMINATION, ULTIMATE END, FINAL, ACTUALLY GO SO FAR AS TO…

The first non-water MIRRORS were highly-polished metal, not smooth glass with silver metal plating on the backside as are many mirrors today. A mirror causes an image to be reflected in a SYMMETRICAL PATTERN or shape, the same image on both sides but reversed or flipped, one seen as viewed reality and the other as an image of that reality but unreal, the same actions seen to be occurring simultaneously on both sides.
「Metal with unexpected end」as using a MIRROR to clearly see oneself,「person's downward thrusting penis spurting from biting fellatrix copulation」REFLECTING BACK AN IMAGE of death, the「unexpected result, finally stopping, the ultimate end」upon viewing with unwanted surprise a the decrepit condition of a bitten and bleeding schwantz. Furthermore, not too many folks can conduct a self-inspection of their own backsides and some other parts without the aid of a MIRROR.
Or, watching oneself in a MIRROR「person in downward penis thrusting stance with copulating sounds」an activity still popular today in some hotel rooms equipped with ceiling-mounted and full-wall mirrors, while REFLECTING BACK the whole image and clearly seeing one's entire performance「continuing until the ultimate end.」
Remember that before mirrors, no one could easily see themselves. Initially mirrors were only for wealthy royals and such, so seeing one's own reflection in a large mirror for the first time should cause anyone to grunt some「sounds, noises」at least, and continue not walking away for a while watching in the MIRROR as a「person in downward thrusting stance with copulating sounds to the final end」might, similar to viewing erotica on some sort of a screen (another activity still popular today).
Glyph applies to any sort of LENS that bends light rays into strange curved shapes as imperfect mirrors will reflect.
BARRELHEADS are the same on both ends and symmetrical, one a mirror image of the other.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
