Meanings of elements

USING BOTH OF ONE'S HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK and DISFIGURED, MAULED, UGLY

Shaking or twisting one's hips was never gracious in the old days, an action only performed by street walkers as an advertisement, shaking booty. That is why doing so was scandalous in the 1950s…times change though. 妞 means「little girl.」
　Actually grabbing another person and SWINGING BY THE HIPS describes a bit more than a piece of child's playground equipment: a type of leather harness suspended from above that held a person by the legs behind each knee in a position where not much movement was possible. With the knees up by the armpits and torso lowered into this SWING, the groin was naturally pulled wide open and could not be closed by the occupant. Very little effort was needed to move laterally for long periods as a male(s) penetrated various wide-open orifices from the front and rear, or a bevy of service providers plied their skills upon an immobile patron. See 'leather with emphasis on open crotch' (靫) that means 'to quiver' that suggests there may have been a waiting line of willing occupants wanting to climb into the swing for a long ride.

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: to turn; to twist; to wring; to sprain; to swing one's hips
Unihan extended: turn, twist, wrench; seize, grasp
EDRDG: turn; twist; wrench; seize; grasp

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.
