Meanings of elements

THE HEAD OF AN ANIMAL OR PERSON, SLIDING DECLINING, DAMMED FLOW with ATTENDANT, TO SERVICE, TO WAIT UPON, TO CARE FOR ANOTHER
…or: PROVIDE SERVICE, SERVE, WORK A JOB, TO DO (POLITE FORM) with HEAD and SQUEEZING GRIP, FEEL OF FLUIDS PUMPING, ROD STREAMING with emphasis

…or: LOITERING, AIMLESS DAWDLING, STANDING IDLE, PURPOSELESS MOTION, TAKING SMALL STEPS and SHAMAN'S PARLOR, TEMPLE, GOVERNMENT OFFICE INSPECTION STATION AND TREATMENT CENTER
…or: HEADS to be SERVICED

「Purposeless motion, aimless wandering, loitering at a temple.」…recall that the original divine places were the sex temples of shamans.「Multiple heads in line」to「be serviced」as WAITING in the queue. In Chinese meaning「to treat or deal with a need, going to do something about it, and waiting until treatment has been completed.」「Aimless motions loitering with penis or shit in a squeezing grip」suggests twiddling or grasping oneself at a clinic that is once again the abode of the ubiquitous shaman, someone who provided both divine sex, traded in girls, huckstered god, and doctored up the infectious as a sort of one-stop shop, a temple of love, a godly brothel, the place to have one's prescription filled or pecker reamed with a bougie. Depicts a busy business day, a good day with folks lined up WAITING for their「head」to be「serviced」in so many possible ways,「loitering with a grip on penis, or shit in one's penis (depends on font).」
　Moreover, today「purposeless motion with penis in squeezing grip」describes any male of any age WAITING most anywhere for anything (see horse [馬] as 'horsing around'), and not only temple-related services. Some members insist the top-right element is no longer「penis」using Japanese elements of「aimless grip with soil」describes having one's thumb up one's ass (perhaps figuratively, or not, as with the English expression) suggests not working and being idle, WAITING for some directions, not knowing where to go or what to do next. Perhaps「purposeless motion with squeezing grip on feces」while WAITING in line (i.e., pinching to prevent an emerging loaf) outside a LAVAtory and hopping around a bit with the jitters due to the tension—use your imagination.

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.
