Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SLIPPERY SLOPE POSSIBLE
…or: BUTTOCKS SOIL SLOPE POSSIBILITIES
…or: NAKED BUTTOCKS and MALE BLASTING ORIFICE
…or: MOUTH NEAR BUTTOCKS in EXTREME CONDITION of LONG STRESS with GASPING
「Buttocks possibilities」meaning KINSHIP INTIMACIES, FAMILIARITY.
Recall that the left element means a「terraced slope」covered by rice paddies filled with water, mud, and fecal slurry, so that all levels may not be seen at once. Walking while working on the steep slopes and being in a stressful condition for a long time, working in slippery mud, a person could take quite a tumble if he or she slipped. A hidden area or FISSURE that is RECESSED between mounds, hills as a CRANNY, or a NOOK.
FLATTERY (in English, meaning「to smooth the surface of something by flattening」) applies to the various flattened levels of wet paddies up and down the slope in order to permit the growing of rice, and figuratively to hidden agendas or purposes. A FLATTERER may be an「asshole with possibilities.」Something that is said in a BROWN-NOSING, ASS-KISSING, obsequious manner: more cracks and crannies between buttocks mounds, it seems (note that the glyph 屙 means to defecate). A hidden area or FISSURE that is RECESSED between mounds, a CRANNY, a NOOK. The left element is a euphemism for a「human buttocks」and anus, with a「mouth」nearby, kissing away for a「long time in extremely stressful conditions while gasping and holding one's breath」and the nose becoming brown after being soiled by residual feces (as with slurry in the mud paddies. 痾 means dysentery). Being a FLATTERING, BROWN-NOSING, ASS-KISSER is a slippery slope to disaster, and FOOLISH.

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.
