Meanings of elements

SOIL SLOPE with PLOPPING SOIL
…or: NAKED HUMAN BUTTOCKS PLOPPING FECES
…or: NAKED HUMAN BUTTOCKS and EXISTS, THERE IS with FECES

[Formerly included「flesh seam」墮]「Slope, human backside」with「hand on meat」and with「soil, feces, ground」depicting DEGENERATING, FALLING APART INTO PIECES, plopping and dumping. When the ground comprising a denuded hill without plant root structures to hold the soil becomes as sodden as diarrhea due to a long period of soaking and heavy rains, the soil will「plop」down and begin degenerating and crumbling, likely forming a MUDSLIDE. References to ABORTION may be due to「naked human backside plopping out body in chunky pieces like mud.」DEPRAVED.

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.
