Meanings of elements

SAP JUICE, SOUP BROTH, GRAVY within SPREAD LEGS, SURROUNDING
…or: FLUID with MAKE THE CIRCUIT, KNEE PADS, SACRIFICIAL MEAT ACTIONS, REVOLVE SCREWING
…or: FLUID of SCREWING ROTATIONS, ARRAY of RODS in SPREAD LEGS

Most likely,「flow of fluids, juices from screwing in spread legs」needs no further explanation. Clearly,「fluid flows while wearing kneepads (i.e., down in the lordosis position for a long duration, hence requiring some protection from abrasion and jackhammer-like rear banging)」will result in COPIOUS, PROFUSE GUSHING eventually. Elements are not the「water market」as some suggest—most merchants discouraged「fluid flows while still in the marketplace」and/or「fluids from excretion (with emphasis)」since things tended to get out of hand rather quickly and merchandise was spoilt or went missing. Places managed by other proprietors were available nearby for short-term rental, if needed.

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.
