Meanings of elements

HALF-HEARTED CLEANING BY FLICKING OFF CHUNKS OF MATERIAL WITH FEET, SOMETHING HIDDEN FROM OTHERS and COOLED DRIPPINGS, STIFFEN, CONGEAL, HARDEN
…or: BAMBOO and WEAK, TO WEAKEN OR LESSEN

Outer hull, skin, pellicle, cuticle that covers a new bamboo shoot, normally a thick skin of leaves in layers that consists of dead vegetative matter, not unlike some no-longer-integrated feet having a case of gangrene wrapped in many layers of BINDING CLOTHS that had the same basic texture as the CUTICLE OF A BAMBOO SHOOT. The pellicle is removed prior to use or consumption, and resembles layers and layers of foot-binding cloths that have been cut with scissors or a knife. Uncovering the hidden shoots after locating the tips by using feet to flick away surrounding dirt prior to stooping down and digging out the bamboo shoot,「weaken」the plant roots by「lessening」the soil. Perhaps using the CUTICLE OF A BAMBOO SHOOT to scrape and clean the biggest chunks from off one's no-longer-integrated feet after the client departs to pay his bill.
「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture…Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [no-longer-integrated] bound feet」(after removing the binding cloths, of course)

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.
