Turnips are not radishes, and neither are creeping ivy vines. Nevertheless, radishes are fast growing and especially「quick sprouting, quickly appearing」which is the meaning of the English term 'radish' as it applies to both vegetation and to radish-snapping, ultimately.「Neeps」or「tur-neeps」have bulbous roots. Lycopodium cLAVAtum known as wolf's-foot clubmoss, stag's-horn clubmoss, running clubmoss, running ground-pine, running pine, running moss, princess pine is a moss and not a vine, although its shoots run prostrate alone the ground and it may appear vine-like and resembles a field full of penile erections, especially when releasing spores. Taken all together, the fast sprouting radish, testicle-like turnips, erect and ejaculating while prone describe features of these three very different plants that are likened to human male erections. Vines do not possess the physical structure to permit standing alone, hence vines creep along the soil until an erect tree, wood (木) or woody is located, at which time the parasitic vine begins to wrap itself around the erect wood and climb with vertical motion, using the host for support. These same attributes can apply to a person with pulverized feet bones who has become a service provider.

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.
