Meanings of elements
BOUGIE REAMING WITH RASP FILE and SHUFFLING MOTIONS
…or: DRAGGING MOTION and METALLIC, DIGGING, PERSON THRUSTING DOWNWARD and GET STARTED, ESTABLISH, ERECTION, BUILD, FOUNDATION, BASE, CURRENCY BASIS, FEARLESS LEADER OF FEARLESS TRIBE
Unlocking a closed or blocked portal: action of inserting a long metal object and sliding it into a small hole, then turning and twisting the inserted metal, shuffling and scraping in and out again and again in order to unlock something, describes the actions of both a bougie reaming a meatus, and a KEY.
「Metal」with「shuffling」「highly possessive, hands on」「establish an erection, construction, dragging erect」or「again and again and again.」Using metal to construct KEYS and locks provides more security than if other materials are used, and in fact most keys and locks still today are formed from metal.「Person in downward thrusting motion」to insert a KEY into a KEYHOLE. The「dragging erect」concept perhaps relates to the turning of the key in the lock, thereby「dragging」the key and internal components into either the locked or unlocked position,「two physical states」until the key itself is「erect」or straight vertical, so that it may be removed from the keyhole of the lock.
Alternatively, perhaps the KEY to being able to perform「downward thrusting with penis stance」is to first「establish an erection with rod in hand until flaccid becomes turgid, then shuffle feet into the proper position.」「Shuffling feet」and「highly possessive, hands on」KEYS.
PIANO KEYS are also actuated with a「person in downward thrusting motion, hands shuffling and erect, striking again and again.」

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.
