In Asia, hardwood sticks are whacked together in order to create a loud sound calling attention to something, such as an alarm, or a ceremony, or prayer, or by night watchman and sentries as an alert signal. Used today at the Grand Sumō tournaments in Japan, and at Shintō shrines. Wood shafts are CLAPPED together smartly, with the person sounding the stick carefully not placing his or her finger between the pieces of wood to avoid mincing one or two fingertips:「emphasis on wood mincing.」
「Woody with reproof, expulsion, repulsion, to oust」that means CLAPPING WOOD may also be the source of the English moniker of THE CLAP as the street name of gonorrhea,「post-mortem (or, not) analysis of castrated male genitals with emphasis on rod down, the handle.」
「Wood with salty wetlands」refers to anal intercourse, with feces normally being quite salty and having the consistency of mud, muck or wet clay…anal gonorrhea was/is fairly prevalent among populations of homosexual men. Note that 尸 as「buttocks, genitals」with the end chopped off combined with 朴 (「fluid impasse, naïve, simpleton」) with emphasis on rod down forms this glyph also.

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.
