Meanings of elements
MOUTH on WOODY
…or: ORIFICE with WOODY
…or: ORIFICE with SCREWING EMISSIONS
…or: ORIFICE and ROD within SMALL YOUTH, MONS PUBIS, STREAM of EMISSIONS
[Elements vary by font]「orifice at woody tip」or even more so, a「mouth on woody」as IN NEED OF PROTECTION, TRULY STUPID due to the risks associated with both the sharp edges of incisors (that make 'incisions') and transmission of oral gonorrhea rampant among old-time service providers (weren't the first guy coming there, most likely): today, this glyph means EMPTY-HEADED, SENILE, DOOFUS, SPACE CADET. Placing one's「mouth on a woody」or「woody at mouth」is not the smartest thing to do for either party, actually, but sometimes that is the only job available for an IDIOT, most especially if either party is possibly infected (varieties of gonorrhea include penile, oral, anal, vaginal, and avian, with infectiousness being a two-way street). Moreover, idiot clients ought never forget that most mouths have relatively sharp teeth, especially if still quite young.
 Perhaps the inspiration for the English term BLOCKHEAD (look at the glyph again), and anyone with a「blocked head of woody」has likely behaved as might an IMBECILE…the Online Etymology Dictionary states that the use of this term as an insult preceded the use of actual head shapes carved from wood blocks by hatters  [ https://www.etymonline.com/word/blockhead 2023-05-18 ] 
 Anyone who simply exists as an「orifice for woody」i.e., uses sex to survive, need not be any more than an IMBECILE…indeed, the owner/lord/client may prefer that to be the case. Shamans who purchased youths and then trained them to be fellatrices had a vested interest in keeping their service providers EMPTY-HEADED. Lords owning harems filled with such purchased service providers had the same need.
 Elements as「orifice screwing emissions」suggest a mind uncluttered by anything other than thoughts of that nature. An IDIOT, a one-track mind, and moving on a single track means eventually being involved in a collision. Indeed, the glyph resembles an「empty-headed, big person flashing woody, or screwing emissions」a SIMPLE-MINDED IMBECILE…same goes for elements as「woody with orifice」「orifices arrayed for screwing copulation」「orifices of small youth arrayed, streaming emissions」(the elements used in various fonts) and so on, with the advantage that this interpretation then may apply to both sexes equally: IN NEED OF PROTECTION.
 「Viewing women as commodities [see ] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

 「The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」
  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17 ] 
 「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: foolish; stupid; expressionless; blank; to stay
Japanese: idiot, fool, touched in the head, out of it, space case, funny man, silly or stupid line, Alzheimer's, to grow senile, to be childish with age, to be mentally slow, to be befuddled, to become engrossed, to be amazed, to be shocked, to be astonished, to be astounded, to be disgusted
Unihan extended: dull; dull-minded, simple, stupid
EDRDG: be amazed; disgusted; shocked

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.
