Meanings of elements

ROD DOWN and PULLED OUT OF THE NORMAL SHAPE with DRIPPING, COAGULATION
…or: TWO RODS with DRIPPING in MEAT

「Rod down, dripping, and pulled out of the normal shape」or with「coagulation inside」describes a sad case of gonorrhea that RUNS ALL THE WAY THROUGH, EXTENDS ALL THE WAY, SPANNING THE FULL RANGE.
Some suggest source elements are two「swine nose to nose with dripping」(互, 豕) or「two alternating」with the two「swine noses」euphemistic of penile glandes and「dripping between」them, as in a frottage stance perhaps, in which bacteria and fluid CROSSES OVER FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE.
Dictionaries say the elements are some sort of specialized, used-only-once variant of「moon, month」(which has somehow morphed into「sun between limits」(亘) in modern glyphs) that refers to the Moon as it orbits in an elliptical path around Earth, moving closer and farther during each month, but within the same limits over time with a few adjustments that are immaterial over the short course of all of human life so far, as a reference to the lunar perigee–apogee orbital distance variation from the Earth. The Chinese were perhaps unaware that the Moon is becoming further from the Earth at the rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year as a consequence of tidal action on the surface the Earth, or, perhaps they knew that, too but discounted it as being immaterial (and made this one-off special element just to remember that fact?).

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.
