Meanings of elements

FEMALE HEMP, CANNABIS with ROD IN RECIPROCAL MOTION
…or: EMERGING SHAFTS with FEMALE ROLE, BRAGGART, DAWNING, AN AWAKENING and ROD IN RECIPROCAL MOTION SCREWING
…or: PLANTS and FAST, COME EARLY
…or: EMERGING SHAFTS COMING EARLY

A「fast」(growing)「plant」or「fast growing emerging shafts」…「plant that comes early」and before all other plants in an area that recently has been cleared of vegetation, GRASSES, WEEDS. The concepts of ROUGH may have more to do a rustic field, meadow, pasture, steppe, savanna, etc., where GRASS often grows high (this meaning can also be applied figuratively), and CARELESS.
　Note that「fast growing emerging shaft」is a replacement for「meat insertion」「inserted meat」「insert into meat」and so on (肏), meaning TO FUCK, COPULATE used literally or as an expletive, such as「Wow, am I fucked!」or simply「FUCK!.」In this sense, it appears that the Japanese pronunciation merges くさ with そう to form くそう or くそ, often translated as 'shit' in English [屎 sticky wad, jism in buttocks] when used as an expletive in dialogue, perhaps since in the past the subjects of defecating, fecal matter, or other scatological actions and functions were more socially acceptable than the act of procreating…or, the whole issue may revolve around the anal port of entry, integrating both shafting concepts as in 糞. Chinese version 肏 combines「insertion with spread legs and two persons」that is suggestive of at least one insertion anally, if not multiple sessions.
　Use as weaving material indicates tensile strength exceeding that of ordinary rush grasses, and may refer to hemp that is also known as「herb, weed, grass」in some quarters, both a fine textile material and a source of rushes.

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.
