Meanings of elements

UNSTABLE STANCE with TWO COPULATING or TIPSY ARRAY
…or: CLEVER FEET with a STUPID ONE

[Japanese variant of 發]「stance of meat with feet」with「array」「tipsy」or「two copulating」as a DISCHARGE, EMISSIONS. Listed also as DIVULGE ONE'S FEELINGS as in a HEARTFELT EMISSION (see 心)…see related Chinese glyph with original lower elements as「removed binding cloths」and「stretched skin of crotch」(發), recalling that in Japan foot-binding cloths were not used generally hence the Chinese glyph may not have formerly conveyed much meaning. DEVELOPMENT derives from conceptualizing and then realization in practice of the invention known as foot-binding, used in Mother China as a means of solving many problematic issues extant in early human culture, namely the prevention of the spread of disease, profit maximization and return on investment, control of employees and associated costs, capital flight and asset management, all issues that still loom as major challenges to corporations and to world leaders today. DEPARTURE from the earthly into the realm of the divine:「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

Perhaps related to the English expression,「having a BLAST.」…glyph in Japanese also means BANGING someone in a balls-out, full forward thrusting, half-standing coital position, BLASTING while forcibly contacting from behind in repeated motions. Top-left element means「clever」top-right「inverted feet」and with「stupid one, two copulating」the whole glyph still seems to describe a client having a BLAST with a pair of no-longer-integrated feet.

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.
