Meanings of elements

ROD HEAD SLIDING with the RULE
…or: PERSON COMMANDED CAUSING LORDOSIS POSITION TO OCCUR
…or: PERSON and FOLLOWING ORDERS
…or: emphasis with MORE OF THE SAME
…or: PERSON NOW SLIDING ROD HEAD

「Rod head sliding」with「the rule」describes someone ACTING ALONE, performing a selfie.
　「Person」with「command, order.」Someone who has been commanded to appear by a lord must be CLEVER to keep his or her head attached, and also may need to give a COMMAND ACTING PERFORMANCE to please the fief lord. Perhaps meaning someone who can summon the CLEVERNESS and skill to give a COMMAND ACTING PERFORMANCE at any time: literally, a「command performance」is a display of talent as commanded by royalty, ordered to a person that is renowned as the best-in-class and summoned to appear before the court of nobles, and such a top performer may indeed be a bit LONELY, having no peers. Note that there can only be ONE SOLITARY person at the top of most competitions or judging.「Person in command」as an army general or a company's chief executive would support the concept of being friendless, as it is LONELY at the top, as well as require CLEVERNESS and some ACTING PERFORMANCES at times to maintain appearances, presumably.

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.
