Meanings of elements

ROD in SQUEEZING, CLAMPED, HELD ON BOTH SIDES, INSERTED BETWEEN, SANDWICHED, WEDGED INTO
…or: RECIPROCAL ROD MOTIONS within STICKY BLOBS, SPLATS, MANY SEEDS IN ONE PLACE, FLAMING
…or: ROD in CHANGING STATE with DRIPPING on both sides, EMISSIONS IN ALL DIRECTIONS

Many possible modern element combinations, such as「rod wedged」or「squeezing the rod」or「not yet emissions」or an「array of splats」or「screwing in sticky fluids」or「screwing, array of woody emissions」and refer to COMING, to COME, an APPROACHING event or something physically APPROACHING, on the move toward appearing. Some action that is DUE TO or CAUSED BY any or all of the conditions depicted by the many various combinations of elements. Note that this glyph originated in China, and in Japanese an orgasmic event is not referred to as「coming」when referring to excretory and scatological functions…instead the Japanese use「going」(see 行). Nonetheless, English references to orgasmic「coming」may very well have some origins with this glyph and its use by drug lords returning from China back to England many centuries ago—whether it's coming or going may in fact be moot, just as long as you get there.

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.
