「Plough」with「bristly hair」or perhaps in this case a「hairy tail, tail with hair」some sources say describes a MOUSE or RAT that CONSUMES crops, usually grain, effectively WASTING it from a human perspective (but not that of the mice, to be sure).「Plough」may be used to depict many burrows, holes, and digging by mice causing WASTED EFFORT of humans as the crops are consumed by vermin. Alternatively,「ploughing into soil with bristly hair, tail with hair」also describes DELAY, DILLY-DALLY, WASTING ONE'S TIME that can only infer an attempted penetration entry into an anus surrounded by a prolific growth of hair…or into some other hairy port in the storm that is unshaven.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: to waste; to spend; to consume; to squander; news; (coll.) to delay; to dilly-dally
Unihan extended: consume, use up; waste, squander
EDRDG: decrease

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.
