Meanings of elements

BUTTOCKS with BRISTLES
…or: BUTTOCKS with HAIRS

Chinese reference to a HORSE'S TAIL in particular, rather than simply to all tails generally, may have something to do with the internal elements in this glyph as「hairy penis」and in the original glyph 㞑 as「sticky fluids on penis.」See 馬 for the explanation of why that is, noting that horses in the wild tend to masturbate on average every 90 minutes or so.
Place where bristly meets the buttocks: TAIL, GENITALS. Used as a classifier for fish, animals that do not grow hair naturally, but fish do have many「bristly appendages by the anus」as bony anal fins, with at least one and often two anal fins present on nearly all species of fish, regardless of other fin configurations. Note that the glyph for fish as「slippery meat」uses the elements of「head and neck plugging orifice with many emissions」and the original form of this glyph (㞑) merges「buttocks with penis surrounded by sticky fluids」not bristles or hairs, as a place likely to smell a bit fishy at times.
In its original parlance, describing a thing or situation as "smells fishy" did refer to having probable cause for extreme doubt and suspicion, but most folks do not realize why innocuous fish are so maligned in this manner. A fishy or pungent-smelling discharge from the vagina or penis may signify the presence of an infection, so caution was advised...and still is today.
As「anal pubic hair」elements perhaps refer to the old classifier for male client liaisons (fish, suckers). Although not unheard of, female humans seldom openly admit to having anal pubic hairs.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: horse's tail; pointed posterior section of a locust etc; tail; remainder; remnant; extremity; sixth of the 28 constellations; classifier for fish
Japanese EDRDG: tail, end, counter for fish, lower slope of mountain
Unihan extended: tail, extremity; end, stern

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.
