Meanings of elements
BODY MEAT OR FLESH and ENCOUNTERING DIFFICULTY, STORAGE OF TOOLS
Gizzard, ventriculus, gastric mill, gigerium:「Birds swallow food and store it in their crop if necessary. Then the food passes into their glandular stomach, also called the proventriculus, which is also sometimes referred to as the true stomach. This is the secretory part of the stomach. Then the food passes into the ventriculus (also known as the muscular stomach or gizzard). The gizzard can grind the food with previously-swallowed stones [used as grinding tools] and pass it back to the true stomach, and vice versa.」
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizzard 2013-08-18 ]
「Body part, flesh for tool storage」is the gizzard holding stones used to grind seeds and other food.
Having a「grumble in the gizzard」means「To complain or grouse, to be dissatisfied or annoyed. …British expression, which dates from the late 17th century」
[ ibidem ] and likely brought from China back to England by opium dealers, a term meaning to tell the whole truth without holding back anything unsavory, being SINCERE and HONEST…the gizzard and true stomach pass partially-digested acid-laden food back and forth until fully digested, an analogy to an honest and sincere discussion of all issues of a matter,「meat encountering difficulty.」

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.
