FOOD, EAT with PROSTRATE PERSON and LOINCLOTH
…or: EAT with HEAD EXCRETING
…or: EAT with HEAD DOWN, ROD IN VERTICAL MOTION BETWEEN SPREAD LEGS

「Eating food」and「prone long cloth」suggests a TABLECLOTH, recalling that most folks did not sit upon chairs of any kind while eating, but sat on the floor, usually with a cushion. A DECORATIVE CLOTH ADORNING and EMBELLISHING an area, or the table, where a meal is taking place. Using such a cloth to HIDE A FAULT, to CONCEAL a problem or activity of some sort, a blemish on the wood tabletop, a stain, or something occurring underneath the table: playing a role in a hours-long singing production, the best「singing girls」(singing was a Chinese euphemism for oral services).
　CONCEALING, HIDING and FAKING or IMPERSONATING:「eating person prone, rod between spread legs」or「eating head discharging」perhaps describing the master or lord at a table while simultaneously receiving services under the table, with the tablecloth CONCEALING, HIDING the fellatrix from the other guests, with some EXCUSE offered for why the table needs a cloth but not revealing the true reason. Relates to the English expression,「under the table」as SECRETIVE, CLANDESTINE activities. Perhaps covering a lord who「excreted while eating」without bothering to rise from the table, a common practice of royalty in the past.

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.
