Meanings of elements

METAL NARROWED
…or: METAL MANY CUTS; PERSON in DOWNWARD THRUSTING STANCE and TWO WILD DOGS BATTLING REPEATEDLY

Note that Chinese sources equate this glyph with 兩, 'rod down insertion in cavity on both sides' and that the elements of this glyph are「person with downward thrusting penis, fucking in spurting stance with two wild dog baculums」that may actually cause a few SPLITS in one's delicate zone skin, or CUTS as it were, due to the motions and activity within juxtaposed orifices combined with both being stretched and filled to maximum capacity, perhaps engaged in the pursuit of MONEY, COIN as all in a day's or night's work.
「Narrow metal」as COINS. Formerly,「person taking stance with downward thrusting motions by two battling dogs」(per scholars,「two battling lances」) to mean being the「recipient of many cuts.」Later application to small-valued coins or coins of REDUCED value: after coins were minted out of gold or silver, unscrupulous merchants and other schmucks would use a very sharp blade and shave the edges of the coins as a「person in stance of downward thrusting motions making many cuts」and keep those shavings (a SMALL AMOUNT, but which added up quickly and paid better than honestly working), but not creating so much of a difference in the appearance of the coin as to be noticeable, they hoped. By this method the next recipient of that coin was defrauded (as in,「anally shafted by many cuts from battling dogs」) since the amount of metal actually remaining in the coin was less than the face value. For this reason, knurling was added to the outer round edge of coins (all those little vertical lines looking like「many cuts」), so that if a coin was missing its knurling, a recipient would be on notice that the coin had been shaved and devalued, and more importantly, that the other party in the transaction was a schmuck and that all future dealings with that person should be avoided.

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.
