Meanings of elements
STUFF FLYING OUT PLUGGING ORIFICE
…or: DAZZLING FILLED ORIFICE
It is difficult to argue against the prudence of advice to HALT, CEASE, STOP whatever may have been in progress when「stuff begins flying out of a plugged orifice.」…an orifice of any size, large or small.
「Dazzling filled orifice」fundamentally seems to mean FASTENED TOGETHER, something that obviously will DETAIN a while in order to STOP and FASTEN THE CONNECTION, or「hook up」as said in the vernacular.
Modern usages also seem to be a PRONGED HEAD, or, a LOOSE tongue due to usage of this element to replace others with simplification. One quick way to stop, or at least slow down most animals is to BIFURCATE THE HEAD, causing「loose stuff to fly out.」The second, seemingly unrelated meaning is because this same element was used to simplify LOOSE TONGUES of many birds chirping in a nest (so say the pundits), also a concept of PRONGED HEADS (甾) that appear bifurcated, i.e., a gaggle of hungry pre-fledgelings vying for regurgitus from a parent bird and hoping for hooking up and receiving a「filled mouth」that together resemble Medusa's nest of snakes, also fits both meanings, which is perhaps why it was selected as the simplified version…snakes also seem to have LOOSE TONGUES.
Snakes and other reptiles have「branching, skilled glans」(岐) as a PRONGED BIFURCATED HEAD:「A hemipenis (plural hemipenes) is one of a pair of intromittent organs of male squamates (snakes, lizards and worm lizards). Hemipenes are usually held inverted, within the body, and are everted for reproduction via erectile tissue, much like that in the human penis. Only one is used at a time, and evidence indicates males alternate use between copulations as a behavioral means of increasing sperm transfer when the interval between copulations is relatively brief. The hemipenis itself has a variety of shapes, depending on species. Often, the hemipenis bears spines or hooks, in order to anchor the male within the female. Some species even have forked hemipenes (each hemipenis has two tips).」

Scholars explain this element means to stop an opponent's incoming lance or sword blow, catching it between the prongs of a defense weapon by hooking up with it.

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.
