Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
THORN REAMING, PRICK REAMING
…or: WOODY within SPREAD LEGS and REAMING
「Thorny」with「ream」or「woody within spread legs and reaming」to mean STABBED, PIERCING, TO PRICK, a THRUST, THRUSTING INTO to use an appendage spewing venom of some sort to STING as a STINGER.
 EMBROIDERY as a decorated cloth normally has to do with the multi-colored thread-like emissions that stain surrounding cloths with interesting shapes and patterns that are discharged whilst reaming a urethra with a bougie: both a bougie and embroidery needles do a lot of repeated「thrusting into」with colorful threads resulting on cloth.
 As a calling card or business card, perhaps something that could be「thrust into」another's hand, although that manner of delivery is not recommended in Japan, regardless of the glyphs used referring to it.

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.
