Meanings of elements
STONE with SMALL MEAT
…or: MINERAL crystals COPY
…or: MINERALS for ROD EMISSIONS with MEAT OF CHICKS AND BUNNIES, ERECTION in NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FEET
「Stone」(as a mineral) with「the small meat」of a no-longer-integrated foot skin fold, refers to NITRATES, salts that naturally are strong oxidizing agents used to prevent infection and clean the skin slit, as well as drying it out, acting as an antiperspirant.「Stone」with「smaller version」of a bigger body depicts mineral crystal encrustations (「small mound」of a crystalline「body」perhaps) on the surfaces of rocks where NITRATES are naturally found. Particularly, potassium nitrate (saltpeter) is used as FERTILIZER, and is also a component of GUNPOWDER (along with powdered charcoal and sulfur) and in recent U.S. domestic terrorist fertilizer bombs. Aluminium nitrate is used for TANNING HIDES. SALTS were used to cleanse, dry, and disinfect the flesh seam created by bending over the sole of each foot into a hairpin shape, and it requires little if any imagination to understand how this condition also applies to all the given meanings. Concubines and service providers used salts in the deep skin slits of their bound feet, a likely source of the English expression meaning to accept the bad along with the good but have some skepticism and reservations,「take it with a grain of salt.」Even only one single grain of salt remaining in the flesh seam of a no-longer-integrated foot would cause discomfort to a client:「stone miniature, mineral grains with rod spurting 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.
