Meanings of elements

ERECT STIFF with TWO JUXTAPOSED ORIFICES above EYES
…or: CRACK IN BUTTOCK CHEEKS with GOAL, AIM
…or: EYEING, GOAL of ROD IN BUTTOCKS, TWO JUXTAPOSED ORIFICES

「Erected, stiff with two orifices (both eye sockets, perhaps?) over eyeballs」as EYEBROWS. Or「blame the erection on eyes.」
Glyph may be a variant of 㞒 as「lusty, cerebral frontal lobe with buttocks.」Some members have suggested a merging of the elements「buttocks」and「vulva」with「eyes」to depict seeing before one's eyes what often causes raised EYEBROWS due to attraction. When in estrus, females of many mammalian species 'wink' the vagina frequently, that cyclops eye as it were, positioned below an eyebrow.「Eyeing goal of rod in buttocks」suggests one party, or the other, or both parties having a facial expression with raised EYEBROWS, eyes wide open. Human females do not often naturally sport rectal pubic hair, contrary to adult males.
「Winking the vulva is one of the signs a mare is in heat. Frequent urination, tail raising, squatting, and fence or wall pushing are also signs the mare is in heat. I have had mares that seemed uncomfortable being [ridden] and even acted colicky when in heat. You can have your vet [verify] to be sure this is what is going on. Mares vary a great deal in their behavior when in estrus (heat) from no signs at all to very pronounced signs. I hope this answers your question satisfactorily. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.」

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.
