Meanings of elements
TENACIOUS BONELESS MEAT, ANIMAL USED FOR ITS MEAT, LEGLESS ANIMAL SUCH AS A HUMAN WITH NO FUNCTIONAL FEET, SHORT-LEGGED, BADGER and BIRD THAT MAKES NO VOICE SOUND, SMALL-CAPACITY, HIGH AMBITION
A species of badger unlike other badgers, with an anatomy that resembles a weasel or polecat more than other badger species: the HONEY BADGER always appears to be too small for its skin, that is, the body is of「small capacity」but with「…thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities. …Because of the toughness and looseness of their skin, honey badgers are very difficult to kill with dogs. Their skin is hard to penetrate, and its looseness allows them to twist and turn on their attackers when held. The only safe grip on a honey badger is on the back of the neck. The skin is also tough enough to resist several machete blows. The only sure way of killing them quickly is through a blow to the skull with a club or a shot to the head with a gun, as their skin is almost impervious to arrows and spears.」
  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_badger 2013-11-08 ] 
 「Tenacious boneless meat with shortened legs who does not speak out and with small capacity but with high ambition」sounds a lot like a newly-placed slender young service provider or concubine trying to get a head.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
