…or: WOOD and HAPPY, EASE, COMFORT, RELIEF

Charcoal is「wood that has been smoked, fired, heated, flamed.」Water content is removed from wood used as charcoal by heating it in a firebox without oxygen to prevent combustion. Oak is very hard wood and therefore makes excellent charcoal, used to cook with and to heat the caves.「Wood musical」refers to the hissing and other sounds caused when moisture as steam is forced from within hardened oak while making charcoal. BLACKWOOD as「leguminous genus Dalbergia, especially D. melanoxylon (of Africa) or D. latifolia (of India), yielding black wood used for carving and musical instruments」
[ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/blackwood ]
Right glyph itself seems to obliquely refer to a hardened condition of a person's wood, not its color, yet. But「hardwood with screaming hollering and screwing emissions or another woody」suggests BLACKENED WOOD WITH ALL FLUIDS REMOVED after anal intercourse:「conspicuous grouping of woodies with emissions in all directions.」

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.
