Meanings of elements

KITCHEN STOVE, FURNACE with HEAD SLIDING and with ORIFICE, CAVITY
…or: HEATED IN HEAT, BURNING ON FIRE FLAMING and MAKE A STATEMENT, INFORM, GIVE NOTICE, A REVELATION, TO CONFESS, TO PROPOSE, TO ACCUSE, INVOLUNTARY FEMALE VOCALIZATION

Japanese pronunciation indicates TO REMOVE ALL FLUIDS FROM AN OBJECT OR ITEM, which will normally be the case if something is ROASTED, especially for too long a time.
To suffocate is to deny access to life-giving essentials, primarily air, to suppress and stifle:「flaming female vocalization during copulation or masturbation」suggests forcibly COVERING THE MOUTH to quell some of the sounds. Roast is to cook with dry heat, with no fluids covering the meat other than what may ooze from within the meat itself, also a situation that might cause hollering from pain rather than joy. Becoming BLACKENED is a Chinese euphemism for anal coitus,…or, perhaps is not a euphemism at all after「emphasis on erection with service provider and withdrawal from orifice.」
A「burning erection in pursuit of a sexual services provider as a client who has been accused, or about whom notice has been informed」and has been BLACKLISTED from the local brothels, a former client now in dry heat, with no fluids covering the meat other than what may ooze from within the meat itself, the same conditions as ROASTED MEAT.

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.
