Meanings of elements

PERSON and HEROIC, OUTSTANDING PERSON, PROMINENT, DISTINGUISHED, EXCELLENCE
…or: WHAT? TEN MEN, UTENSIL, TOOL LIKE TEN MEN, AN ASSORTMENT, MISCELLANEOUS, TEN OF SOMETHING with EMIT SPLASHING DOWN and MANY EMISSIONS
…or: IDLE RESTING with MANY EMISSIONS
…or: PERSON with WOOD, PLANT, HERB and MANY EMISSIONS

「Idle, person with woody and many emissions」as HOT BOILING FLUIDS. If one has many emissions while dormant or idle, perhaps that is worth BOASTING about. Fumigate means to subject something to smoke or fumes, normally in order to kill pests, as someone with a case of pubic crabs might attempt (do not try this at home), but smoke and fumes can also be released with furious motions by the heat of friction, that is this case may have been an exaggeration for comedic effect.「Many emissions while resting」is a fortunate situation to be in with inhaled-exhaled recreational SMOKE FUMES:「person with excellence, at rest, with many emissions」「person with many herbal plant emissions」of which the exhaled smoke resembles a boiling, billowing cloud. Results of friction due to intense rubbing accompanied by stinky「emissions of ten men's tools」as「prominently performing personal heroics」and the resulting odor cloud that fills the air, and continued heat exchanges until finally erupting in the BOILING motions of all ten men.

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.
