Meanings of elements

PIECE OF LOOSE SKIN, SKIN FLAP, PREPUCE, FORESKIN and STRETCHED TAUT
…or: WOODY and ONE AS GOOD AS ANOTHER, ATTAIN EQUAL STATUS AS ANOTHER, EXERT ONESELF TO ACHIEVE ACCEPTANCE
…or: WOOD with ERECTION SKIN ROLLED in CROTCH AND CONJUNCTION OF TWO ITEMS

POLES generally occur in pairs (as do feet), such as the geographic North Pole and the South Pole, positive and negative electrical or magnetic poles, with one「pole having equal but opposite status with the other.」
「Wood with erection rolled in crotch, taut and gasping」as well as「shaft exerting to achieve equal status」both lead to an EXTREME in and around the UTMOST, the bottom-most area, since in all likelihood at that point the ankles are pinned somewhere beside the ears. Significantly, no「trees」or other photosynthesizing plant life survives at the Earth's poles for long, so one must wonder whether the left element referred to some other sort of WOODY POLE used in an extreme manner where the Sun does not shine, and not in the polar regions of the Earth.
Japanese pronunciation suggest a SADDLE, a seat upon which one mounts when riding:「woody erect with rolled back skin on crotch」as mounted in position for copulation, being back in the saddle again, riding the storm out in wavelike motions until the moment of the cloudburst and rain, and so forth as a「woody exerting.」

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.
