Meanings of elements

BUTTOCKS CRACK, DOORWAY, FAMILY MEMBERS and COUNTER FOR BIRDS CHICKS BUNNIES CONEYS, PLUMES, TWO STIFFENING NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FEET, WINGS, FEATHERS
…or: DOOR, HOUSEHOLD, NARROW ENTRANCEWAY and TWO STIFFENING NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FEET, NEW CONCUBINE IN TRAINING, WINGS, PLUMES

Depicting a「doorway」that must be spread apart before any sort of use, with「no-longer-integrated feet in training」that is suggestive of OPENING UP A SLIDING DOOR while kneeling on the floor and not while standing (folks with newly-no-longer-integrated feet did not stand much), the polite manner of opening doors in Asia…in the old days, doors in Asia were not hinged, but instead slid back and forth within grooved tracks. When too much force is applied to the sliding door, a loud SMACK or SLAPPING sound is audible as it strikes the wood of an adjacent post.
HANDHELD FANS also open and close by sliding the slats of the fan back and forth and then using it to create a breeze. Furthermore, while a handful of「feathers」in a fan shape may have provided all sorts of pleasant stimulation and fun with a「buttocks crack」feathers in a fan shape do not produce much actual breeze, other than when attached to birds.
「Doorway of two no-longer-integrated feet」resembling HINGED and FLAPPABLE「chick's wings」also must be SPREAD TO OPEN them and then enveloped around a client's appendage spewing venom before commencing SLIDING MOTIONS during use by shuttling back and forth within the grooved track therein…PLUME of course can refer not only to large feathers but to an arching discharge or ejaculation, such as a 'plume of smoke' or, a 'plume of effluent' as sewage pollutes a body of water. SLAP may have related to what was needed to facilitate cooperation to OPEN UP AND SPREAD WIDE a「buttocks crack doorway」or the SLAPPING sounds of rhythmical contact from a FANNING action, describing clearly the motions made by a client with a no-longer-integrated foot, or two, or a buttocks, and so on. Buttocks and the female genitals are also called a「fanny」in English as well…both must be spread open prior to use. The term「fanny」as an English reference to either the buttocks (American) or the vulva (British) underscores similar traits and appearance…both references may have originated with this Chinese glyph.

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.
