Formerly 獎:「dog on the verge, dog boss, the boss' dog.」These elements are「about to be offered, invite for meat」with「two hands」(or「big, many, grand」) about to RECEIVE ONE'S JUST REWARD that could be good or bad, happy or sad, getting what one deserves.
Some say the original meaning was「about to give or offer meat to a dog」but if actual canine meat is involved, then more likely「give or OFFER dog meat」as the REWARD, realizing that「dog meat」is literally eaten in China, believed by those who ingest roasted puppy dog today to be quite delicious, and was eaten the world over also until very recently, including Europe and the Americas until cultural and cuisines changed. Figuratively,「dog」is the euphemism for「penis」in English as well (as in dick-dog), so figure that in, too if you like: RECOMMENDED, URGE, EXHORT, ENCOURAGE someone to eat. In truth, dogs do not need any encouragement or urging to eat any sort of meat, including the meat of other dogs, and most dogs may not fully understand if you「recommended」something to them anyway.
In view of the top element as「in bed with meat in squeezing grip, to desire, invite, and request」the possibility cannot be ignored that the PRIZE, REWARD was not eating dog meat literally, but instead, figuratively eating the meat and drinking in the fluids of one's dog by someone used as sacrificial meat, to wit, blow jobs administered by the lord's finest harem fellatrices.

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.
