TREE, WOODY with ORIFICE
…or: ORIFICE with EMISSION and SCREWING

An APRICOT FRUIT:「tree, woody」and「orifice」to depict juicy fruit that is covered with fuzz, with its deeply dimpled indention punctuated with brown tissue where the woody stem attaches (resembling an anus) and the creased exocarp which extends down one side (resembling both a vulva and buttocks), having the shape of various popular orifices, in particular that of a prepubescent or shaven female human's anus and vulva while sitting upon her buttocks with legs spread and knees pulled up (forming an「M」shape), a posture often assumed while self-pleasuring, attempting to attract attention within a cave o' wonders, or simply extending a proceptive invitation to copulate, among other activities. Perhaps needless to point out is the fact that an ALMOND in its husk…(that is, the green fleshy part covering the nut shell as it grows on an almond tree, only seen by almond orchard workers, generally)…appears much the same as an apricot. Note that fruit with no fuzz, such a plum, is depicted as「tree, woody with child」(李).
　Both APRICOT pits with the outer shell removed and ALMOND nuts with the outer shell removed strongly resemble each other (hence the same glyph, and, the two are often confused today), both are tapered, and both fit into a shell cavity that resembles a「woody penetrating an orifice」when the outer shell is intact. Needless to point out perhaps is that the shape of both apricot and almond seeds with the shell removed closely resemble small turds in shape and color, so what do you suppose the Chinese sages were depicting with this glyph?

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.
