Meanings of elements
TA-DA! TA-DAH! SOUND OF A TRUMP, MAKING A GRAND ANNOUNCEMENT OF COMING ACCOMPLISHMENT with SURROUNDING EDGE OF STANDING ERECTION
…or: TAKE UP IN BOTH HANDS, EXTRACT WHACKING, CAUSE TINY PARTS OF STUFF TO FLY OUT OF SOMETHING, REMOVAL OF A COCKRING with SURROUNDING EDGE and SCREWING
…or: PULL TAUT, PLAY WITH SOMETHING PULLED TAUT, STROKE A CURVED TAUT PIECE OF WOOD WITH HAIR (SUCH AS BOWING ONE'S FIDDLE), SURREPTITIOUS THEFT OF A SMALL GOAT OR EWE, KID NABBING, KIDNAP, WORKING WITH SOMETHING LIMP, ELONGATE AND CAUSE TO STAND BY PULLING, GENITAL DISCHARGES (ALL POSSIBLE VARIETIES) and SURROUND EDGE THE OLD WAY

…or: TALENTED USING BOTH OF ONE'S HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK and the STARTING POINT, BASIC OR FUNDAMENTAL, STALK, STEM, BASE
「Basic, starting point of talented hand use with more to follow」refers to the prehensile and opposable thumbs with which human beings can PLUCK things between thumb and forefinger, picking up items by pinching (it would seem).「Starting point of hand use, talent」with tools for humans was this grasping and plucking ability. One cannot help but note that holding a hand with the forefinger and thumb tips in contact may be considered the「basic starting point of hand use on a male stalk」and that using no-longer-integrated feet also required picking up the item, with a pinching action. Japanese adds the meaning of a KNOB, also a SNACK or SIDE DISH, something that might cause one to lick one's fingers.
 PLUCKING FLOWERS, the euphemism for concubines and harem members, as in the English word「deflower」to describe the initial sexual experience of a virgin.

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.
