The referent of CLUMSY is「clumse」meaning「to be stiff from cold」hence uncoordinated. Other given meanings of DIRTY and DEFILED seem to stem from「emphasis, drips from spewing penis within both cavities」on each side of the female perineum, or, simply schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) a bunny, and in that sense, perhaps defiling oneself in the process by catching the clap and defiling one's own reproductive organs: STUPID, MARKED LACK OF INTELLIGENCE, FOOLISH, CARELESS, BLUNDERING, BUNGLING.
In its original parlance, describing a thing or situation as "smells fishy" did refer to having probable cause for extreme doubt and suspicion, but most folks do not realize why innocuous fish are so maligned in this manner. A fishy or pungent-smelling discharge from the vagina or penis may signify the presence of an infection, so caution was advised...and still is today.
「Trichomoniasis (commonly referred to as 'trich') is the most common, curable sexually transmitted disease in the world. …Trichomoniasis is caused by a one-celled parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomoniasis affects both women and men. The most common location of infection in women is the vagina, and in men it is the urethra. In women, the symptoms of trichomoniasis may include yellow-green vaginal discharge, fishy odor, pain during urination and sexual intercourse, and genital itching or irritation. Men usually do not show trichomoniasis symptoms, but some may experience discharge from the penis or burning during urination or ejaculation.」

Roughly one out of three women ages 14-49 in the United States develop a vaginal bacterial imbalance known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) during their lifetime. BV is characterized by unpleasant odors, and potentially painful side effects, as well as the risk of associated health issues later in life. 「Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the name of a condition in women where the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted and replaced by an overgrowth of certain bacteria. It is sometimes accompanied by discharge, odor, pain, itching, or burning. How common is bacterial vaginosis? Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection in women of childbearing age. In the United States, BV is common in pregnant women. …Not much is known about how women get BV. …However, some activities or behaviors can upset the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina and put women at increased risk including: Having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners. …It is not clear what role sexual activity plays in the development of BV. Women do not get BV from toilet seats, bedding, swimming pools, or from touching objects around them. Women who have never had sexual intercourse may also be affected. What are the signs and symptoms of bacterial vaginosis? Women with BV may have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor. Some women report a strong fish-like odor, especially after intercourse.」

「If you consider risky sexual behavior a nonissue, remember this: Over one million people around the world acquire a sexually transmitted disease (STD) every day. '…We often hear the words herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia in a comedic context, but anyone who has an STD knows it's no laughing matter,' Superdrug explained. 'It's something you may have to live with for the rest of your life. It's scary. It's embarrassing. It's often confusing. But if you're one of those people, you're not alone. Not even close.' 」

「One in two sexually active persons will contract an STI by age 25. …Researchers estimate that at least 80% of sexually active people will have an HPV infection at some point in their lifetime. CDC data for 2013–2014 show that about 42% of men and 40% of women aged 18-59 had genital HPV at that time. …About 1 in 8 people aged 14-49 in the U.S. has genital herpes. …Symptoms of genital herpes often go unnoticed. Most people with genital herpes—close to 90%—don't know they have the infection. Globally, researchers estimate that about two-thirds of the population under age 50—more than 3.7 billion people—are infected with HSV-1. Some 140 million people aged 15-49 are infected with genital HSV-1, primarily in the Americas, Europe and Western Pacific. …In 2015, rates of the three most common reportable STIs—chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis—reached a record high level. The approximately 1.5 million reported cases of chlamydia represent the highest number of annual cases of any condition ever reported to CDC. …Young people ages 15 to 24 years old accounted for 65% of chlamydia diagnoses and 50% of gonorrhea diagnoses in 2015.」And so on.

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)
Unihan extended: stupid; clumsy; to dirty, defile
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.
