Meanings of elements

TWO DOWNWARD THRUSTS within GATEWAY
…or: WAY OR PATH FURTHER IN, TEACHINGS OF A SINGLE MASTER SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, METHODOLOGY and OPENING HOLES, TWO EQUAL MEASURES, EQUALITY OF TWO THINGS

In Chinese, the female groin is sometimes referred to as the「jade gate」due to the two「mooning orifices position」elements used to depict「gateway」with jade anciently being carved into all sorts of useful sexual tools, from dildoes to butt plugs to cock rings to jade eggs/ ben-wa balls…. In order to REMOVE THE COVERING and enable that GAP to be SPLIT OPEN WIDE, to UNWRAP the package,「two downward thrusting sessions of a penis」may be required on「each side or at the same time, fittingly」to OPEN THE GATEWAY and START ACTION, START USING, BE UP-TO-DATE.
　Kelvin degrees are related to an absolute scale for measuring heat.
　Concept of BECOMING CIVILIZED applies not so much as a statement about the culture of our bonobo-cannibal ancestors, but as a reference to now being able to interact in every way with others without limitations, as an adult joining society…civilly. Note that deep downward penile thrusting into each side of a wooden gatepost, or using a wooden gatepost in any other manner might cause permanent impairment, or splinters at least, and is neither advised nor is such action contemplated by this glyph…yet, wooden posts thrust into two holes, soil may be appropriate. Hence, the gateways must necessarily be accommodating human orifices, likely with sufficient preparation to receive the thrusts. After both sides, perhaps TO BECOME EMPTY now takes on some meaning here, as well as GUSHING, BOILING (in Chinese). In Japanese, the meaning applies of SPLIT OPEN FISH revealing all the inner meat, as well as perhaps a reference to the fabled, accompanying, slightly fishy odor.

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.
