Meanings of elements

FISH, SLIPPERY MEAT and LEAF
…or: FISH with MANY NEEDLES AND PRICKS or MANY SCREWING EMISSIONS
…or: FISH, SLIPPERY as a FLAT WOODEN BOARD

Fish resembling the shape of a leaf or flat plank and filled with needle-like bones.「Females release eggs many times in a spawning season, and can have over four million eggs. After fertilization, eggs hatch in just a few days. After these eggs hatch the flounder will sexually mature usually between the age of two and three. Although they produce many eggs, and many of these eggs are fertilized, less than three-quarters of the eggs survive. Although there is a good chance of death, summer flounder have a very high survival rate given how many eggs are produced and fertilized.」

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.
