The「head facing downward of a man getting lucky」one who has located and is now「looking down at an orifice for his penis」and is STIFFING someone. Note that the pronunciation in Japanese of this glyph is a vulgar word for「anal sphincter.」Meanings are to SUDDENLY FLY UPWARD as if being struck in the face by something while looking down, later extended to TAKING FLIGHT and SOARING (in his case, perhaps an emotional response as well as physical ejection and subsequent ejaculation) but now applied also to birds and helicopters. Also TO CONTEST or be in DISAGREEMENT or UNSATISFIED WITH CONDITIONS, as might be the case with the person suddenly withdrawing from fellatio at the climactic moment, or, being anally raped (「getting stiffed」), and a quick forward motion may have caused a withdrawal and either feces, or jism, or both, to SUDDENLY FLY UPWARD and the anal rapist to be struck in the face by flying schmutz while looking down. A further meaning of TO ROB is related to GETTING STIFFED and ought to be intuitively obvious, needing no explanation. CONFISCATE as in to take possession of something without the consent of the owner.

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.
