Meanings of elements
FLESH of DOMESTICATED DOG
…or: emphasis on BIG MEAT or TWO-HANDED with MEAT
Despite the sole Chinese meaning given in dictionaries, use of this glyph as an element also suggests meanings of TWO HANDS on MEAT or BIG MEAT with emphasis, hands on any sort of meat, greasy meat, greasing one's meat, and so on.
 Tender, bite-sized morsels of dog flesh as PUPPY NUGGETS. Many in Asia ask those in the West, why are chicken nuggets acceptable but puppy nuggets are not? why pigs, lambs, and veal but not heron, civet, or cetacean? if humans can eat some animals, why not any animal when not an endangered species? the argument that chickens, pigs, lambs, and cattle are raised by humans for the purpose of slaughtering and eating their flesh simply begs the question: why is there any difference? by that reasoning, if porpoises, dogs, and cats were raised for the sole purpose of harvesting meat (as in Asia today), then everyone should eat that meat without qualms, too? what is the difference between eating the flesh of a wild animal, and the flesh of a farmed animal? while the controversy rages, it is a fact that all human societies in the past regarded puppy nuggets as prime eating, and many humans still think so as the way it has always been and the way it should always be for contentment. Within those cultures that now abhor such practices, that abhorrence is a very recent change (just a few hundred years at most). So whether we support it or not, whether we like it or not, regardless of anyone's personal feelings in the matter, the fact is that some people still eat dogs, cats, dolphins, and whales…and a whole slough of other food animals too, not sold at Whole Foods. Do not forget that all of humanity once ate other humans and humanoids as standard dinner fare (the likely cause of Neanderthal and Denisovan extinctions), and we all have not yet evolved to live only on pure sunshine and morning dew. Perhaps until then, or until these questions are satisfactorily answered, the Japanese will continue to hunt cetaceans, and the Chinese to eat civet cat and nuggets of puppy dog.
 「We know that human sacrifice and cannibalism were widely practiced in pre-literate societies and that they were not local but universal cultural phenomena. …[T]he ancient Chinese also participated in this culture, which has much in common with the [Journal of Generative Anthropology] position about the violent origin and early development of human civilization…」

 「Human cannibals likely took a big bite out of their fellow humans about 10,000 years ago, according to a study that examined prehistoric bones with scratch and bite marks on them. …In the end, they discovered 30 bones belonging to three individuals: a robust adult, a gracile adult and an infant. However, the infant had only one complete bone (a shoulder blade, or scapula) that did not show signs of cannibalism, the researchers said. …But the practice goes way back: there's even evidence of Neanderthal cannibalism in Belgium and Spain from more than 40,000 years ago, when they went extinct, Live Science previously reported.」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: dog meat; old variant of 然

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.
