Meanings of elements

SPURTING and PROFOUND, DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT, DARKENED, VERY LOOSE AND DRIPPING and BIRD
…or: PALMING LOOSE AND DRIPPING, MANY THREADS with BIRDS

CORMORANTS are used by humans to gather fish from rivers to be disgorged and then eaten by humans (the fish, that is), by「palming」the bird's neck and sliding the fish out of its「loose and dripping」crop, via the gullet gular pouch, to obtain「multiple loose and dripping」sweetfish, called ayu in Japanese.
A CORMORANT is a bird in the same family as pelicans: a ring is tied around the base of the cormorant's long throat that prevents it from swallowing any fish it catches. The bird is secured to a rope tether that can be retrieved by the human in control. After the bird catches fish and is retrieved, the human performs an action upon the bird's throat by grasping it and sliding the hand up until the fishes pop out of the cormorant's mouth. Many birds at once are controlled by a single human sitting in a boat with the birds circling and fishing. The human's hand actions on all the birds in the group and subsequent ejaculation of fish from its bill are akin to the「circle jerking」element (鵁). Jerking the noisy, flapping birds by the neck back into the boat, and then jerking the fishes out of each one's throat, seems to be「savagery with birds」(鴺). A vivid example of human beings as parasites,「shafting the bird」(蔦) of its meal and labor.

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.
