Welcome! Introduction
Glyphs missing from your font set may appear strange, or not at all. We recommend enabling East Asian language support.

In its original parlance, describing a thing or situation as "smells fishy" did refer to having probable cause for extreme doubt and suspicion, but most folks do not realize why innocuous fish are so maligned in this manner. A fishy or pungent-smelling discharge from the vagina or penis may signify the presence of an infection, so caution was advised...and still is today.
See the original glyph 韍: soft skin orifice between two feet, doggy style, as someone in need of knee protection whilst MAKING THE FULL CIRCUIT「screwing in spread legs」among the meat sacrifices offered for short-term rental by the shaman in her shrines and temples. Glyph similar to that of「meat markets, in the city」(市) and suggests the modern day practice of bar-hopping, trolling for _____ [fill in the blank with your favorite genitalia set], and so on…chafing the skin off a drunk's knees in the process until bloody, yet most males cannot perform more than a few times or more than a few minutes, unlike a trained female service provider who more than anything else under the circumstances might have appreciated some padding for her knees.
Original glyph of「knee pads. Sacrificial actions」(韍) uses elements of「softest skin orifice while doggy-style」and not too subtle: 巿 is suggesting that one「arrayed in one's loincloth」on the floor as knee protection prior to engaging the meat「screwing in spread legs.」…the need for knee protection may have been far more applicable to those service providers offering「soft skin orifices between feet」in sacrificial meat market actions all night long to the circuit of urban clientele who generally squatted behind the buttocks, and did not kneel. See Chinese erotic art for examples, and the glyph 韐.
Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: see 韍
Unihan extended: revolve, make circuit, turn
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.
