Welcome! Introduction
Glyphs missing from your font set may appear strange, or not at all. We recommend enabling East Asian language support.

「Repeatedly」「erect, quick motions」and「arrays down」while using a small one-handed axe, a HATCHET to chop firewood. A HATCHET was not normally used as a weapon, but in a pinch still served well enough to HACK an intruder. A unit of weight of about 500-600 grams, or 1.1-1.3 pounds, perhaps the weight of cat carcass being prepared as nuggets with a Chinese cleaver. Then again, perhaps the origin of the English expression, POUND OF FLESH to describe emasculation (see 觔 as kati, a replacement glyph) by hacking off male genitals with a hatchet and the resulting weight of the detached meat.
「Repeatedly bobbing on head of erection」with「rod down」describes what is known in the vernacular as a PRICK TEASE, repeatedly inciting a full erection by pussy pawing but then not continuing until climax, considered by some to be CRUEL, RUTHLESS, MALICIOUS bordering on torture and a known cause of vasocongested epididymal hypertension. Fortunately, relief can be handedly applied automagically by self-stimulation soon thereafter.
As with the English expression「hatchet job」a CRUEL, RUTHLESS, MALICIOUS, SPITEFUL ATTACK upon another, physically or figuratively on a reputation, much like a cat using its claws or hatchet might badly scratch, but seldom kill, a CAT FIGHT. FURTIVE, SKULKING and SNEAKING, moving STEALTHILY and POUNCING FROM BEHIND, as a cat might. Needless to point out perhaps that these elements also are「anus」(后) merge with「rod」rather than「orifice」that may also cause exactly the same POUNCING FROM BEHIND and so on. Cats are notorious for copulation in exactly such a manner.
Note that 尸 as「genitals」with the end chopped and hanging vertically (not raised) forms this glyph also.
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: catty; weight equal to 0.5 kg
Japanese: unit of weight ~600g, pound, loaf
Unihan extended: a catty (approximately 500 g) an axe; keen, shrewd
EDRDG: axe; 1.32 lb; catty; counter for loaves of bread; axe radical (no. 69)
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.
