Meanings of elements

UNDISTRACTED in VILLAGE
…or: OPEN-MOUTHED and CONSPICUOUS WHITE DRIPPING beside TWISTING BURROW HOLE FOR SCORPION ENTRY
…or: JUST ONE VAGINA

「Just once」in「village」referencing someone everyone is aware of since in the countryside, everybody knows everyone and everything:「just once」with「female frontal nudity.」
　「Vapid and open-mouthed, conspicuous white loose and dripping bent stinky short leg (or sitting person) with burrow used for scorpion-like appendage entry」as a GOOF-OFF or HOOLIGAN, NE'ER-DO-WELL, one's HUSBAND, or a woman's LOVING SON.
　「Open-mouthed tonguing sitting with vagina, inner pathway for traffic, burrow-like vortex orifice for inserting appendages spewing venom」as a PROSTITUTE. A「vapid conspicuous person sitting in village」was the reference for GOVERNMENT MINISTER or OFFICIAL, or one's HUSBAND or SON waiting for his meat to be eaten, or his stomach to be fed. …perhaps left element may well be「eat me open-mouthed tonguing while sitting」in front of「female genitalia」suggesting a woman's LOVING SON (incest was celebrated: nobody minded), a NEWLY-WEDDED MAN who still does that, or one's LONG-FAITHFUL HUSBAND who still does that. …so, all these eclectic meanings do come together nicely, after all.

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.
