Meanings of elements

SWAMP with PUBLIC USE ORIFICES and with MANY EMISSIONS
…or: REPLACE with BLACK

Something「black」(perhaps soot) used to paint on replacement eyebrows after plucking out all natural hairs in order to make eyes appear larger and「more beautiful.」Nowadays folks use laser hair removal and then tattoos, or in Japan some clownish celebrities just daub on some axle grease, as「sticky stinky black shit.」Needless to point out is that in the past, the use of eye cosmetics was generally for the purpose of attracting a sexual partner by concubines, prostitutes, and service providers…but today, who knows?

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: umber-black dye for painting the eyebrow
Japanese EDRDG: blackened eyebrows
Unihan extended: blacken eyebrows; black

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.
