Meanings of elements
GLANS PENIS with CLITORIS
…or: ROD in CAVITY WITH BEAN
…or: GLANS LAVA and ROD ORIFICE in SPURTING STANCE
Formerly, this glyph also included the「stretched skin」element (凱) that refers to TRIUMPH, ONE'S VICTORY SONG, WINNING or perhaps 'beating someone else'…「hail the conquering hero」 of the mountain over the molehill, or, use your imagination. Also refers to a deep feeling (愷) of JOY, CONTENTEDNESS and satisfaction. Literally「glans and clitoris」or「emerging clitoris」or「mountain of clitorises」any of which may cause SURPRISE.
It seems highly unlikely that the sages were referring to a literal mountain of beans or to the small dirt mound in which beans are planted, as a hill of beans that have been harvested that everyone knows doesn't amount to anything. More likely, the sudden「emergence」of a woman's euphemistic bean may also cause SURPRISE, DELIGHT. HAPPY in English derives from 'hap' meaning getting lucky, good fortune, a chance. An added interpretation espoused by some is that of「drumming」or「beating」since apparently beans or a pot of them could be used as an acceptable substitute for a drum in a pinch. The ubiquitous「drumming of the bean or beating one's glans」seems so much more likely to account for the SURPRISE, OH! HEY! OOOH! and HAPPY DELIGHT. Meaning GROIN when used as an element in more complex glyphs.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: how? (emphatic question); old variant of 愷|恺; old variant of 凱|凯
Japanese EDRDG: an interjection of surprise
Unihan extended: how? what?

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.
