Meanings of elements

STIFLE a PRIMATE MATING STANCE, FLAUNTING ONE'S BEST POINT, NARCISSISM, LOVING ONESELF DISPLAYING A PLUME
…or: CONTROL OF SOCIETY USING SEXUAL MEANS with PERSON PALMING PRICK

[Elements vary by font and positioning] particularly with ubiquitous wireless Internet access via the large assortment of handheld devices available at low cost, attempting to「stifle a person palming his prick」may be ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE and causes DISTRESS in all sorts of ways to everyone around. People「resembling shifting clay and propagating violets, stifling and unstoppable copulation, twenty or so bastards from one vulva with adult men」and「courtship displays, persons palming prick」meaning FINDING FAULT WITH ANOTHER, and CRITICIZING SOMEONE ELSE'S DEFECTS, to CENSURE or CONDEMN another, something that in Japan especially is SEVERELY DIFFICULT, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE and causes a CALAMITY, DISTRESS, therefore it is seldom, if ever, performed (instead, fools are ignored):「stifling overt displays」to others.
　「Bastards palming pricks」who are themselves DIFFICULT, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to manage or to discipline, a CALAMITY and who cause DISTRESS. Nevertheless, this glyph is the core of the Japanese expression「I THANK you」 which uses the ancient linguistic style of a thousand years ago, suggesting that long ago folks used to appreciate being informed of what might be amiss and then working it out as socially acceptable behavior that is more common among some Western cultures today. Or, THANKING you for「stifling that mating display of palming your prick at the moment.」Note that Chinese sources count 19 strokes, but Japanese only 18 strokes (topmost-right element is merged).

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: disaster; distress; to scold; difficult (to…); problem; difficulty; difficult; not good
Japanese: difficulty, hardships, defect, difficult to …, hard to …, fault-finding, troublesome, complicated, serious, fussy, particular, fastidious, hard to please, displeased, gloomy, glum, sullen, dirty, unclean, filthy, detestable, unpleasant, uncomfortable, creepy, spooky, to criticize, to point out faults, to speak ill of, to be a problem
Unihan extended: difficult, arduous, hard; unable
EDRDG: difficult; impossible; trouble; accident; defect

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.
