…or: VARIOUS PENILE EMISSIONS and RECEIVE, UNDERGO, TO BE SUBJECTED TO SUFFERING OR PLEASURE

「Passive threads」: a seal, or「chop」as it is also called, in Asia was/is used in the same manner as a person's official signature in the West. Losing or misplacing one's chop seal was similar to losing credit cards or a bank passbook with related cash card and the personal identification number written on the back. The seal chop was also used to sign contracts. In short, if lost or stolen, there was no immediate replacement. It was not quick, easy, and free to request a replacement online with multiple delivery options, including free next day shipping. In short, the seal chop owner was at great risk from pickpockets with sticky fingers too, hence a safety cord attached to the seal chop used to fasten it to one's belt or pants pocket when out of the house was a prudent measure to prevent「sticky emissions repeatedly flying out surrounding one's crotch.」

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.
