Meanings of elements

emphasis on ROD within STICKY FLUID STREAMS
…or: emphasis on ROD with DRIPPING, COOLING and STREAM OF FLUIDS with SITTING SERVICE PROVIDER

An emphasized「array of sticky streams」meaning a DESIRE that is an ESSENTIAL NEED, ALWAYS IN DEMAND, DEMANDED by everyone, also likely a reference to autoerotic behavior or sexual foreplay that humans and bonobos SEEK, PURSUE, and REQUEST. Scholars suggest all sorts of wild explanations for this one. Also depicts the DEMAND for medical services as an ESSENTIAL NEED after an unwanted「array of sticky streams」manifests itself. Clever shaman soothing witch-doctors offered both as the nascence of vertical marketing and conglomerated integration of business enterprise, sort of a 'from soup to nuts' approach (both literally and figuratively).

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)

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.
