Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
BATHE, CLEANSE, WASH, CONFERRED in ORIFICE with GAPING MOUTH
…or: FLUID MANAGEMENT for LACKING, A DEFICIENCY
…or: FLUID CONTROL and DEFICIENT, LACKING, GAPING MOUTH
…or: FLUIDS and BLOWING WOOD
…or: FLUID and TO SUCK IN, SUCK OFF
「Flow of liquids」to「manage, control」your「gaping deficiency」means GARGLING, RINSING YOUR MOUTH. Also meaning TO HAVE ONE'S REVENGE or TO WIPE OUT A DISGRACE (at least, in the perpetrator's own mind) perhaps as an allegory of rinsing one's open mouth and spitting out something foul-tasting. Note the Japanese meaning of「refusing to admit being wrong and adhering to a far-fetched argument」as a「flow to manage a gaping deficiency.」In Chinese, an added suggestion seems to be「wash one's face after eating this」that may be a reference to the original meaning of the center element, virgins who had been rounded up for the lord's harem and bound in order to prevent escape (perhaps) and「manage the bundle of 'em」by a「flow」that produces a「gap, deficiency」and GETTING REVENGE upon one's lord, or the girls.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: to rinse one's mouth with water; to gargle
Japanese: gargling, rinsing one's mouth, to gargle, to rinse the mouth, to wash out, to have one's revenge, to wipe out a disgrace
Unihan extended: gargle, rinse; wash, scour
EDRDG: gargle; rinse mouth

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.
