Meanings of elements

TONGUING SOMETHING, SPEAK, SAY and A CONTRARY POSITION, OPPOSITE, DANCING A GIGUE (JIG), CONTRADICTORY, MISTAKEN, ERRONEOUS, BAD IDEA, DEVIATE, BOTH FEET CLUBFOOTED

Don't speak in a contrary manner. Don't lick or suck upon no-longer-integrated feet. Don't stick out your tongue or attempt to speak while dancing or jumping up and down. Don't fellate after no-longer-integrated foot use. Don't kiss someone's feet unless you know where they have been walking, and so on.
　「Mouthing roosting chicken feet」as working underneath a higher authority: chickens sleep with open mouths while roosting, and during sleep the animals spontaneously defecate large amounts of fecal matter, not unlike an employee working under a boss. Shit normally trickles down to all lower levels but sticks to everyone along its path.
　「The Peter Principle was first identified by Dr Laurence J. Peter, a sociologist, lecturer and business consultant, in his 1968 book of the same name. It states, 'In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.' In other words, if you work in an organization with a top-down management structure and you are good at your job, you will likely be promoted until you reach one rung above your level of competence. Dr Peter called this level your 'final placement.'」

External source definitions
none located, and you ought to ask yourself, why not?
definition speculated from combining the elements, or, from usage in other glyphs

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.
