Meanings of elements
CHILD with PLATE
…or: RAT, PIECES OF MEAT, COMPLETED CYCLE, ROD ROLLED BACK with STREAM OF FLUID and with NETTING CLAPTRAP ON ROD
「Child」with「dish, plate」makes some sense as the FIRSTBORN, since the first son born was often special and was sure to be given a plate of food at suppertime, while other siblings may not have been as lucky.「Child above netting in tray」also makes some sense, assuming a parent wanted to educate that son in particular about what happens when one misbehaves, perhaps in the attempt to prevent the son's own illness and early, painful demise. Most likely though is the first「child requiring the application of a groin poultice」the ELDEST SON, also meaning the START OF A SEASON, in this case a season of suffering, pain and infection due to orifice copulation (. See similar glyphs).「Child with netting on tray」clearly would apply as the first sibling with a dose of clap.「Child in netting」may suggest an older brother having his way with a younger sister, or brother.
 It is no coincidence that the English root word「broth」meaning fluids in which meat has been heated, cooked and fired, is used to describe「someone who broths」as a brother and a「house for brothing」as a brothel.

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.
