Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
HAND with BIRD
…or: ERECT ROD, ARRAYED with BIRD
Either「cliff」(not likely) or「hand, wrist」(likely) with「the bird」that sources say mean GOOSE. A bird you can handle may very well be a tamed goose. Geese are not too well known as cliff-dwelling animals although they do migrate over mountains at times, so it is more likely that the outer element formerly was a variant of「hand」or,「erect rod, arrayed rod.」Carrying a bird such as a goose under one's arm, in hand, was customary when going out to visit with some friends. The bird was carried as a「portable party treat」(see related glyphs), which gave rise to the English slang「goosing」that initially meant literally to poke the bird in its cloaca at parties (not unlike「tupping」another form of zooerastian husbandry).
 「Hand on bird」also known today as 'being up for grabs.'
 GOOSING a.k.a. 'grabassing': the action of grabbing another's naked ass when least expected, often causing a loud retort similar to a goose honking when poked in its cloaca, a sport enjoyed worldwide today by many males of high school age in locker rooms.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Unihan extended: wild goose
EDRDG: wild goose

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.
