Meanings of elements

BEHEADED DELICATE ZONE
…or: DISTRICT of GAPING, OPEN-MOUTHED, DEFICIENT, OWING BLOWHARDS
…or: RESTRICTED ZONE and GAPING

Perhaps relates to land of the guillotine's nascency? Brits also used to stuff on pikes decapitated heads along London Bridge, a nearly continuous display for nearly 400 years.「Gaping deficiencies in prostitution red-zone」: EUROPE. Depicts the district where the singing girls could be rented on a short-term basis equipped with skills unknown to Europeans at that time, Europeans not being as adept or as well-trained with regard to the many uses of orifices, were「red zone deficient」…these elements may well have depicted the surprise that the first Europeans who visited China expressed when first seeing Chinese red zones where the brothels and service providers labored,「in the red zone with wide open and gaping-mouth surprise」or,「losing one's head with hookers.」
Still others say these elements refer to the「delicate zone beheaded」of circumcised missionaries from Europe. Circumcision has been religious dogma of Islam, Judaism, and some Christian religions for centuries…January 1 is the Christian Feast of the Circumcision. Note that none of these religions originated with the Chinese.

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.
