Meanings of elements

FLUIDS and ALL DIRECTIONS
…or: FLUIDS with EMPHASIS within SKIN SHEATH PREPUCE, WORLDLY, MATERIAL-MINDED, A PLACE FOR YOUR HAND TO REST, HOW MANY TIMES?

A「flow」of movement that is「ordinary, all」to mean naturally DRIFTING ordinarily in any or all directions, without guidance. CARELESS, as in without a care in the world, uncaring with regard to the present situation, which is「fluids flowing with emphasis within skin sheath prepuce, worldly material-minded, a place for your hand to rest, how many times?」
Something in motion would be the case if swimming (not merely floating or drifting), sometimes stiff, full-sail and sometimes relaxed, flaccid, or using effort to propel oneself in a specific direction. GOING WITH THE FLOW, following the underlying current ADRIFT in whatever happens naturally. Right element is a fundamental portion of「wind, sail」as in the flow of sailing along, just being blown in whatever direction. Note the Chinese variant of 泛 uses「fluid flow meager, tired, scarce」as when all the fluids have been exhausted (temporarily).

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.
