「Buttocks, piling on」is suggestive of a Mongolian clusterfuck, a condition highly desired by many (if not all clients) but soon to become an out-of-control free-for-all—providing free services to all involved due to the inability to perform necessary accounting functions is not what kept the shaman in business, not to mention that it risked causing serious and irreparable harm to her service-providing herd of meat assets, endangering her future revenue stream. Hence, TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM STARTING AN ACTION to IMPEDE, INHIBIT, OPPOSE, THWART, OBSTRUCT. Note that the original meaning of「free-for-all」in English was not a melee (mêlée), an argument, or a brawling fight, but instead was the various unbillable actions involved during a Mongolian clusterfuck that became「free, no fee charges can be assessed for all participants」by default.
Alternatively,「piling stuff on terraced slope」will THWART, IMPEDE, INHIBIT, OPPOSE, OBSTRUCT crop production, in most cases.
「Piling on an asshole」in order to OPPOSE, THWART, IMPEDE, INHIBIT whatever the「asshole is about to do.」「Adding one asshole to another」or accumulating a「pile of assholes」often will eventually cause any reasonable business or operation to come to a grinding halt.

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.
