「Scoop for fluids with pot」: trade in tea worldwide is still a big business. See details described in similar glyphs and 茶 for some reasons why.「Scoop for fluids, palm of a hand with necessary dripping from an orifice and drops falling」is highly suggestive of SOFT WOOD, or at least a softening woody, for the time being until the requisite refractory recovery period is complete. The「woody of a trader in fleshpots」will naturally be fairly SOFT WOOD, having become accustomed to the merchandise, or, after continually testing the goods often for proper functionality.「Woodies waiting for symptoms of illness to appear, mutually inspecting one another, fearful maroon appearances」ought to be SOFT WOOD and not encouraged to harden until certain of the outcome. And lastly,「woody with the dripping orifice of a fleshpot」naturally will therefore be softening wood as well: SOFT WOOD.「Wood dripping drops for money, looking at emissions」describes ART CREATED WITH WOODBLOCK PRINTING techniques.

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.
