Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
PERSON with COMPLIANT SERVICE PROVIDER FOLLOWING ORDERS
…or: EAT, ECLIPSE BY FULLY ENCLOSING and ROLLED BACK PREPUCE
…or: EAT, FULLY ENCLOSE with HAND on CROTCH
「Eat with hand in crotch」or「fully eclipse a rolled back prepuce」「person with compliant service provider following instructions」making a MEAL of some sort of sticky splat (), especially breakfast.
 Perhaps in Japan「eating with hand again」underscores the need to pick up and hold a rice bowl in one's hand each time rice is plucked with chopsticks, and not to eat from a bowl that is setting upon a table. Refers to food being eaten at a MEAL since rice was served at most every meal traditionally, including breakfast.
 「Eat, opposite」may refer to customs for eating cooked rice in Asia, culinary rules which may have originated as a result of these elements (not vice-versa): folks in Japan do not normally mix cooked rice in the same bowl with other foods, but rice is eaten in a separate bowl (there are exceptions especially in more recent times, such as curries from India, and donburi). The bowl of rice is normally placed on the left side, and something else to the right (meat, fish, vegetables, and so on), noting that over 90% of folks are right-handed. Therefore, the COOKED RICE is on「the other side」the「opposite side」of the main dish.
 Significantly, this glyph is associated with hot sticky COOKED RICE at a MEAL being eaten. Rice in any other form, such as growing rice, or harvested rice still in the hull, or a sack of uncooked rice grains, all use different glyphs.
 「Person with emphasis on chewing, gnawing」with「in reverse」describes the actions needed to in fact swallow meat rather than the service provider norm of pulling it out upon conclusion.

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.
