Frankly, the image of a slick, black-coated glossy crow may have been likened in this glyph to a service provider's wet pubescence and「fluids surrounding cavity with two sets of lips of divine service provider with no-longer-integrated feet and many emissions.」…what was the exact object or body part for eating that was being referred to is left to your imagination, but simply thinking about doing so might cause anyone to vomit after she had been involved with a long night of servicing clients. It could not be a more humiliating punishment to be forced to clean a service provider with one's tongue after the DISCHARGES OF BODILY FLUIDS of many clients, including those of the licker, yet a punishment that might have aptly suited the occasion and was likely enforced by the shaman's brute squad upon an unruly client, hence the origin of the English expression, EATING CROW. A「crow」(烏) was the name given to service providers specializing in anal-related services.

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.
