「Feet sneaking around to flashing flames」within a「village」(positioned in this glyph as the backside, anal orifice of a human) indicates a sexual encounter with a NEIGHBOR, NEXT TO your home, ADJOIN or ADJACENT to your own. Further note that「puckered」is apparently the preferred orifice when schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) your neighbor, or your neighbor's wife, in order to avoid your neighbors rearing a gaggle of children who resemble you uncannily (see related glyph 奧 meaning「deep inside, repeatedly bobbing head in neighbor's wife」). Putting it all together yields:「human backside with jism splat, puckered anus of village neighbor in evening with upturned feet」to indicate a tryst with someone living nearby, as an idea that seemed like a good one at the time but causing bad results within the village: using sex orifices on either side of one's own pit hole residence as the「next door neighbor.」

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.
