「The explanation, it seems, relates to the sex life of pigs—and perhaps of human beings as well. Researchers in West Germany have found that truffles contain large quantities of a substance also synthesized in the testes of boars. In the boars it is secreted into their saliva when they court females. The Germans report that the substance's musk-like scent, 'emanating from the saliva foam, is smelled by the sow and prompts her standing reflex.' The chemical is twice as abundant in truffles as in the blood plasma of boars. Furthermore, it and related steroids are produced in the testes of human males and secreted by their armpit sweat glands. It can also be detected in the urine of women.」

「Rancid human male and erection in no-longer-integrated foot」describes the「efforts, power, strength」of the local administration to locate the source of an infection discovered within the brothels, someone who had breached the security systems and inspection gateways or jumped the patrolled walls surrounding that town quarter, conducting a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. Obviously, in order to conduct such an investigation, specific records were required to be maintained at the gateways and by the shaman proprietresses operating both brothels and treatment clinics, leading to the birth of journals, ledgers, client billing records, time keeping, auditing, and ultimately the accounting profession (not a joke. See 数).
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: impeach
Unihan extended: examine into, impeach, charge
EDRDG: censure; criminal investigation
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.
