Meanings of elements

THIN SLICE, FLAKE, TO CARVE THINLY, POSITIONED TO ONE SIDE and REMOVE THE OUTER PART, THOUSANDS OF SEESAWING MOTIONS in CAVITIES WITH TWO SETS OF LIPS, PESTLE OR PESTLE-LIKE ACTION, MASHING MEAT

「One-sided insertions, thousands of times between cavity with two sets of lips」as a flat piece of wood fitted into a gate cavity tightly, enabling the plank to be raised and lowered to various levels and control the flow of water through a SLUICE, perhaps within an irrigation system. Elements also suggest a huge harem of thousands, such as were maintained by the Chinese emperors,「lying on a bed prone repeatedly inserting a screwing tool thousands of times between two sets of lips into the opening of a cavity」that also may release the FLOODGATES, raise and lower fluid levels. Note that CANAL LOCKS enabling ships to pass from one body of water to another are controlled using a「cavity with two sets of lips」「positioned to one side」and the other side of that cavity.

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.
