Meanings of elements

NECESSARY DRIPPING FROM ORIFICE, DROPS FALLING with REPEAT, RECOVER AND DO IT AGAIN, RESUME THE SAME ACTION AS BEFORE, GO AND RETURN BY RETRACING STEPS, RETURN TO AN ORIGINAL STATE OR CONDITION, REVERT, RESTORE
…or: NECESSARY, DRIPPING FROM ORIFICE with LOITERING, PURPOSELESS MOTION and REPEAT, DO IT AGAIN, HEAD of PERSON PROSTRATE with HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING with HEAD in CROTCH, SPREAD FOOT BESIDE EACH EAR

Top element of「something of value, necessary and essential, dripping orifice」with lower element of「repeat, do again, going and retracing steps.」Internal elements of「retrace steps, flip over and do it again prostrated with tonguing mouth and spread feet, inverted」while extending both feet in the air over your head or beside your ears. Together, these sets of elements depict OVERTURN, meaning to TURN SOMETHING (or someone) OVER AND USE AGAIN. The 'lather, rinse, repeat' sort of action with a service provider.
Perhaps the Chinese pronunciation (displayed here in Japanese katakana 'fuku') is a possible source of the English word「fuck, fucked.」

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
