Meanings of elements

BENDABLE PLIABLE, NAÏVE EASILY DECEIVED and RECIPROCATING MOTION OF HORIZONTAL ROD, ONE and THE HEAD OF AN ANIMAL, SLIDING DOWN, DECLINING, DAMMED FLOW
…or: WOODY STALK and IRREGULARITY, LACK OF UNIFORMITY, CLUMSY, CALYX, UNOPENED BLOSSOM
…or: NO WOODY YET
…or: WOODY with ROD HEAD and emphasis on RECIPROCAL VERTICAL MOTION

「Emerging stalk」from「calyx closed flower bud」or「clumsy」as a cup with no stem or handle, hence is a bit unstable. 'clumsy' means 'benumbed with cold' hence this glyph may literally refer to WOOD STIFFENED BY COLD or a COLD WOODY…now think about it. How could a still-stiff woody become cold and fit these elements? only when still wet all over after a deep pullout from a formerly-closed genital flower bud while wagging in air, recalling from 7th-grade science class that evaporation is a cooling process. The「no handle」double entendre concept simple means the wood was not「handled by hands」of anyone, so it must have been penetrating an orifice. A plant calyx is the thin outer wrapping around an as yet unopened flower bud, analogous to the vaginal hymen of mammals: therefore, a TROPHY, the act of deflowering a virgin female vagina.「Not a woody」refers to a female as a TROPHY (see prize, booty 尚) and specifically excludes young males as prizes. Booty that still has an intact hymen and in many cases, relatively intact may have sufficed, too, a TROPHY, a classifier for containers of a small amount of liquid, a cup heretofore with no stem attached.
　Small, round cup shape similar to a flattened shot glass as 'wine glasses' (a poor translation) not the Western style, but a cup for drinking rice wine in Japan, stemless tiny bowl-like cups. Related glyph (盃) has the meaning「not a plate or tray.」
　Octopus and squid both have cavities with no stem or handle filled with 'ink' used to create a black cloud behind while escaping in order to stymie a predator. Octopus and squid have no bones,「no woody.」Suction glands lining tentacles attached to the head of both octopus and squid strongly resemble the shape of the cup being referenced.
　A ship's hull also holds some amount of water as a vessel with no stem or handle.

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: trophy cup; classifier for certain containers of liquids: glass, cup
Japanese: sake cup, cup for alcoholic beverages, shallow bowl, counter for cupfuls, counter for ships, octopuses and squid, to share a cup of sake
Unihan extended: cup, glass
EDRDG: counter for cupfuls; wine glass; glass; a toast

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.
