A plant that in English is likened to the hero of an old story about the life of a man famous for his stubborn, hard head spurting tears cascading down (due to the shape of the ripened grains), but in China was likened to a「plant with a blow job orgasm」by following the same reasoning, a hard head spurting fluids cascading down. With all due respect to the Chinese, it is unlikely that 3,000 years ago many of them had access to the Book of Job, let alone the ability to read Hebrew, Arabic or Babylonian Aramaic, so the next closest analogy had to suffice. The grains from Job's Tears are very hard, pearly white, oval pseudocarps with a series of spikelets emerging from the tip that appear to be dripping into the soil. PEARLS used in Chinese euphemistically represent glossy droplets of ejaculate or gonorrhea.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: Job's tear plant (Coix lacryma); erroneously called Chinese pearl barley
Japanese EDRDG: seed of job's tears, lotus seed
Unihan extended: seed of job's tears; lotus seed

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.
