Meanings of elements

TO BATHE, TO MOUNT AND RIDE and FORCE, POWER, EFFORT… or: SUMMONS FROM A HIGHER AUTHORITY TO GET MEAT, REAMING an ORIFICE, TO SEDUCE, TO PUT ON ONE'S BODY, TO OBTAIN SOME MEAT, TO MOUNT AND RIDE, TO TICKLE OR TOUCH GENTLY, A TEMPLE and FORCE, POWER, STRENGTH, EFFORT

It is always excellent to encourage bathing, and「bathing certainly possesses a force」of its own that ENCOURAGES other social activities, which when performed as a「convened group putting out efforts」can become highly stimulating, well-known among bathhouse patrons throughout history in Rome, Greece, China, Japan, San Francisco, and the world over, especially prior to the spread of acquired immune deficiency syndrome from「orifice reaming efforts.」…it does make sense to wash fairly soon afterwards rather than simply staring at yourself, so a bathhouse is undeniably convenient for that purpose. A high calling often is an excellent motivator, encouragement. But the elements as「efforts when convening with higher authority for orifice reaming」best describe STIMULATION OF EFFORT, ENCOURAGE someone, such as after receiving notice of a tax audit and soiling oneself, or being called by one's owner or lord for concubinage service.

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: stimulate to effort
Unihan extended: encourage; to excel; excellent
EDRDG: recommend; work hard; beautiful

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.
