Meanings of elements

FISH, SLIPPERY MEAT and FLASHING BRIGHTLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT

While still alive, a fish with scales reflects light, and flashes under water. While fish scales are edible and a good source of protein, ingesting a large amount of fish scales still attached to skin rather than bothering to remove them prior to cooking or eating seems like a good idea at the time, but usually has bad results. Adding serifs and flashy doodads to written characters that hang off glyphs like fish scales seems like a good idea until others need to read what was written. A serif is an added but unneeded stroke or appendage attached to the main character, not unlike a「slippery and fishy prick with jism splats scraping, engraving within the no-longer-integrated feet」of a service-providing human being.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: scales (of fish)
Japanese: scale, serif
Unihan extended: fish scales
EDRDG: scales (fish)

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.
