Meanings of elements
BIG DISCHARGE
…or: TWO-HANDED PENIS GRAB
…or: BIG PENIS inside MUCK ORIFICE SCREWING
Some old glyphs suggest that this depicts a「big man」with his「one hand on each side」holding his penis between his legs, his「scorpion tail, appendage for spewing venom」and when used as an element in other glyphs with meanings of「castration, covered, and delayed」that thought may not be so farfetched. Needless to point out that when a big man uses both hands on his penis, a sudden discharge of some sort may also be imminent, so the fundamental characteristic meaning remains the same, either way. The castration angle would account for meanings of FEEBLE and DELAYED in addition to GASPING and BIG DISCHARGE (of blood, semen, feces, or all of the above), and the Chinese meaning of「embrace, grab firmly with both hands…」The Japanese meanings of OBSTRUCT, and to SMOTHER also seem to be due to constipation, or hands covering one's genitals prior to castration, likely accompanied by weeping, pleading and the gnashing of teeth.
Elements as「large, grand」「penis within muck hole」not only aptly describe reasons for the English equivalent term SLOWPOKE as to what was the object being poked and what was doing the poking, but also explains a bit about the description of Slo Poke caramel candy, with that namesake. A STICK-IN-THE-MUD by no coincidence, either.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
