Meat that appears old but may not actually be aged is on a person who has not taken good care of his or her health, instead living a wild and RECKLESS, OUTRAGEOUS lifestyle.
WHAT? WHY? as an exclamation of wonderment, after learning that anyone would select that sort of「old meat」as a BLUNDER. Perhaps「screwing orifice, old」with「meat, erection in no-longer-integrated feet」as a BLUNDER. Perhaps BARBARIAN FOREIGNERS did it「the old-fashioned way with their meat」by simply screwing the natural orifice only while foregoing no-longer-integrated feet.
Chinese thinking of BARBARIAN FOREIGNERS as OUTRAGEOUS, which means「grossly offensive to decency or morality, being well beyond the bounds of good taste, having no regard for morality, violent or unrestrained in temperament or behavior [rage, anger], extremely unusual or unconventional, being beyond all reason, extravagant or immoderate」
[ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Outrageous ]
Perhaps refers to the shriveled and shrunken shape of an old man's genitals (「meat」) or diseased, enlarged prostate gland (「old」) that became so from the BLUNDER of not continually using the body's seminal pumping system to ejaculate. Glyph is also used to represent「walnut meat」the edible part within the shell, probably due to the resemblance of walnut meat and shells to diseased prostate glands and an old man's scrotum, respectively.
Ingesting「meat」that was「old」might make you ill and be a BLUNDER. Refers to BARBARIANS FROM THE NORTH or WEST (the southern barbarians were「dogs」) as WILD, RECKLESS, VIOLENT BERSERKERS. Glyph is also used to describe dried sesame seed pods, cucumbers, walnuts, fava bean pods, etc., that strongly resemble a plant full of human penile erections and/ or scrotums, albeit a bit shrunken as if from「old men's meat」(Asian cucumbers are much thinner but with many more skin bumps than those in the West…).

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.
