Modern elements of「night soil, dirt」「head, sliding into, sliding down」and「conspicuous, opened tonguing mouth」(appears as「tonguing mouth」with some fonts, that is, without the marker stroke, and this causes the stroke counts when used as an element to vary). Pundits say that the top element may have morphed from the related element meaning「crossed sticks, center of head, burning fagot (faggot)」depicting someone who thinks about men sharing erections all the time who may also be「conspicuously sliding into the night soil」of another. As in English, this glyph came to be associated thousands of years ago with male homosexuality due to its meaning of「hot burning wood shafts rubbing together, bundle of woodies with a red glowing ember on one end」and「head sliding out of night soil conspicuously white open-mouthed.」
 SIMILAR KIND is an obvious reference to homosexual preference for a「similar kind of person.」Note that in China and Japan before the arrival of the Jesuits there were few (if any) social taboos regarding homosexuality. Samurai and old men often were openly bisexual or homosexual, as they are again today and proud of being so: recall from your days camping that burning fagot (faggot), those with smoking red hot embers on one end, are more conspicuous than those sticks still in the cold woodpile. Meaning of SOMEONE refers to this glyph's use for an unnamed person whom everyone has already identified, but remains unnamed in the gossip (instead, perhaps, the speaker gives a knowing [nod, nod…wink! wink!] meaning「you know who I'm talking about…」DebunKanji does not state a moral opinion regarding the use of the term FAGOT (FAGGOT) to describe HOMOSEXUAL MALES, but is simply explaining how and why the use of the term originated, and the glyphs behind that usage.
 Some browsers will not display this glyph using certain fonts…the actual glyph may possibly be seen within other glyphs as an element.

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: (after a verb or adjective) one who (is) …; (after a noun) person involved in …; -er; -ist; (used after a number or 後|后 or 前 to refer to something mentioned previously); (used after a term, to mark a pause before defining the term); (old) (used at the end of a command); (old) this
Japanese: someone of that nature, someone doing that work, person
Unihan extended: that which; he who; those who
EDRDG: someone; person

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.
