Meanings of elements

HARD WOOD OF ADULT MALE with COMPLIANCE and FEET SPREAD
…or: GRAINY and ADULT MAN, HUSBAND, THAT THING, CONSCRIPTED LABORER
…or: WEDGED ROD in SPREAD FEET with ADULT MALE

「Barley」for「conscripted laborers」meant that these folks were not even given the whole grain, but only the outer hulls that the rich folks would not deign to eat. Actually though, the BRAN is where most of the nutrition is, and the white center is where most of the calories are. Original elements may have more likely described the true use, however, as「prick with feet spread and inverted of the common man」to describe the sad lot of a crotch infection and cereal bran used as a poultice in the hope of drawing out some of the infection's pus…the old top-left elements were「screwing many people」as a behavior pattern that often invites disease.
「Feet squeezing of adult males」obviously will leave crusty hulls around a service provider, after drying the morning after.

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.
