Meanings of elements
TALENT, HAND USE while EXAMINING MEAT
…or: HAND USE and TO POLICE, INVESTIGATE
「Hand use」while「examining meat」related to FIXING UP or SCRUBBING UP by hand, SCRAPING off the ugly chunks, and CLEANING up one's meat offering (before anyone else sees it) that will be shared at the religious meat-pulling festival. The way to purify your hands is to scrub them. The way to purify something else is to scrub it by hand. This glyph connotes RUBBING or SCRAPING something and then「taking something away with you」or to the festival,「sticking to you」such as grease getting on your hands, paint stuck on your car after being side-swiped, and being「changed by it」somehow, CHAFING both literally or figuratively. Not surprisingly,「hand use while examining, displaying meat at home while down on all fours」also refers to CHAFING one's meat, FIXING UP or SCRUBBING UP by hand, SCRAPING off the ugly chunks, and CLEANING up the meat, perhaps after self-pleasuring or coital action with the subsequent sticky schmutz, as well as feeling changed. See the true meaning of「rub-a-dub-dub three maids in a tub」naked and washing each other at meat-pulling publicly displayed festivities.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
