「The rooster has a small phallus that becomes engorged with lymph to form a copulatory organ. The copulatory organ is rudimentary and at the time of mating there is practically no penetration. The hen everts her vagina during copulation [turns it inside out and outward], which helps to transfer the semen into the oviduct.」

Interestingly, cocks normally PUMP ejaculate from about 10 to 30 times per day (cock chickens, that is), with the ejaculated amount measuring about 0.5ml to 1.0ml per hen, and 18ml is roughly the amount of ejaculate one cock is able to produce per average day. So the hen holds her cloaca cup out, and the cock pours in his semen almost without touching the hen's orifice…just like pouring a drink. Right element represents about 3/5th of an ounce or 18ml, the amount held in a small cup called an ochoko with a shape resembling an everted chicken hen cloaca, and used for drinking sake holding about one mouthful…for a small mouth. Also refers to an APPRENTICING GEISHA per dictionaries, although note that geisha is a Japanese term and not Chinese, and this glyph was likely applied to those particular geisha who performed functions similar to Chinese concubines. One function of most all geisha is to fill the ochoko of guests, POURING DRINKS FOR ANOTHER (in Japan, it is generally rude to pour your own alcoholic drink unless you are drinking alone, but…drinking alone also is a 'bad manner'). The amount of cock ejaculate held within the deep skin fold of a no-longer-integrated human foot is (you guessed it) about 18ml or 3/5th oz., but no one is suggesting today that anyone actually drank that—although…the sort of hazing of pledges that occurs in fraternities and sororities today may rival what was done to apprenticing service providers…POURING DRINKS FOR OTHERS.
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 pour wine; to drink wine; to deliberate; to consider
Japanese: pouring alcohol, person pouring alcohol, to serve sake
Unihan extended: serve wine; feast; deliberate
EDRDG: bar-tending; serving sake; the host; draw (water); ladle; scoop; pump
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.
