Meanings of elements

WATERFALL below ORIFICE
…or: UTMOST GENITALIA
…or: UTMOST BUTTOCKS
…or: ERECTION and BRING A MAN IN FOR SEX, PUSSY SCREAMING, CAT HOUSE

「Utmost genitals, buttocks」are not likely a set you will find at home (unless you live alone perhaps), but instead in the old days pre-Internet, you'll have needed to visit that special HOUSE of repute, or a back ROOM, a BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT where those services are offered by a selected and highly-trained group. Recall that the oldest profession among humans was peddling「utmost genitals.」A MERCHANT dealing in the buying and selling of 'the goods' (品, 'many orifices').
「Waterfall below orifice」smacks of exaggerated advertisements and recent Internet selfies, used to「bring a man in for sex, cat house, pussy screaming.」…seems that humanity never learns, and that there is nothing new under the Sun saith the Preacher.
SOME TYPE OF PERSON BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO OR WHAT TYPE yet…perhaps travelling salespersons spawned the idea among pit hole owners to construct a ROOF with walls around the door of pit holes as a means of keeping the salespeople at bay, the「ultimate door」(perhaps related to the English expression,「hitting the roof」due to excitement of some sort)…and while that fictitious explanation admittedly does not fit the elements, at least is more socially acceptable today than the elements literally:「buttocks arrayed with loose dripping stinky night soil」that would likely be above, the ROOF over whatever was「arrayed loosely dripping on the soil, ground.」

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.
