The「soil」that is「inside and between the walls of a plugged soil orifice」is FILLING IN THE HOLE. Holes in rice paddy walls needed to be plugged prior to planting in order to retain rainwater. Holes in mud dwelling walls were plugged to keep out wind, rain, and mosquitoes. The「soil」that is「inside and between the walls of a rice paddy」is FILLING IN, and used for EMBEDDING rice plant sprouts into mud, muck, and human excrement as fertilizer, BURYING the roots in soil. To plunge something into dirt, soil, feces and EMBED it, plant it in there, PACKING, STUFFING CRAMMING. After embedding and pulling out, BEING COVERED IN FECES, any figurative meaning of「throw or heap dirt, feces on top」for BLAME, SHAME, DIPPED IN SHIT, etc. Dig a hole and then cover it, as with BURY a corpse in a grave.

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.
