Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
FANGS, SHARP PROTRUSION with FRONT VIEW OF NAKED GENITALIA
…or: ON ONE'S WAY TO HEAVEN with ROD UP HEAD SLIDING with FACING FULL FRONTAL NUDITY
Definitions from Chinese dictionaries provide a clearer description of the meaning of this glyph: DEPRAVED, PERVERSE, VICIOUS, CONTRARY TO ACCEPTED BELIEF, DEMONIC, UNHEALTHY INFLUENCES CAUSING DISEASE, ABNORMAL, just REALLY MEAN and NASTY. Left element means「fang, sharp protuberance」and the right element of「village, orifice of twisting scorpion burrow」or「vagina」(see 邑 and ⻏,「orifice for sex」), or simply「full frontal nudity.」「Fangs in village」may be referring to a RABID animal.
The English expression of「escaping by the skin of my teeth」makes no sense of course, but the original form of「escaping with my skin in her teeth」does indeed represent narrowly avoiding disaster of one's prepuce and surroundings.
「Sharp protrusions while in front view of naked genitalia」may refer to bone splints emerging from no-longer-integrated feet (over time) that resemble「bird claws」(鄢).「Fangs with vagina」or a「vagina with fangs」would explain all the given Chinese definitions, from either a male or a female perspective. Nevertheless, most female humans do not have teeth in their actual vaginal cavity, yet in dynastic China surrogate vaginal cavities constructed in no-longer-integrated feet would from time to time burst a bone splinter as a sharp protuberance, and surrogate vagina cavities of an oral orifice did indeed contain teeth, at least at a mostly young age, used vengefully when clenching (see 'teeth' 歯 and 齒).
Interestingly, the males of most mammalian species are indeed equipped with penile barbs that upon penetration resemble「fangs in a vagina」and may be one cause of animals howling while copulating…domestic male cats for example, have about 150 or so backward-facing pricks on the penis, presumably to prevent penalties for an early withdrawal before leaving a deposit.
Snakes in fact have「fangs in vagina」(the cloaca, actually, a snake's equivalent to a vagina). Snakes have vestigial hind legs, claw-like appendages that are held inside around the cloaca (the orifice used for copulation) called 'anal spurs,' barbs with which the female snake firmly attaches herself to the skin of the male snake during reproduction. The male snake possesses the same inner barbs but also has forked hemipenes normally held inside the body ('short legs' with two forked seminal troughs that are always 'loose and dripping' since they are not fully closed), and also attaches barbs to the inside walls of the female's cloaca…while the male snake possesses a forked penis, note that he normally does not copulate with two females simultaneously.
CLENCHING and related problems and fears are present in these glyphs:
歯 and 齒 as teeth.
恨 regret, hate, resentment, rueful, hold a grudge, malice, bitter feeling, rancor, to curse and swear.

旡 suddenly choking on something in one's throat.
兂 clasped with teeth.
邪 wickedly demonic.

音 loud noise.
既 and 既 too late, happened already, unchangeable.
茱 and 萸 bloody stump, dogwood.

啗 enticing lure, gnawing meat.
啖 threaten a superior, taunt and torment, reckless endangerment while tasting and eating.

喫 clenching with gasps.

揕 bare-fisted jab, punch in the face.
意 long in thought, intent, concerns.
貇 tenaciously clenching jaw and not letting go.
虞 horror, terror, terrorism.
鉗 clamp and gag.
𪗱 and 齟 discord, broken teeth.

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.
