「Human buttocks」with「excess」also is suggestive of DISLODGE, ELIMINATION, ORDERLY REMOVAL, GET RID OF and WIPE CLEAN as it may refer to a bowel movement.
「Surplus human backsides」as TO NOT INCLUDE, KEEP SEPARATE, EXCLUDE as unneeded: selling one's surplus inventory when in a financial pinch. All things considered, it is also unlikely that the Dragon Emperor wiped his own anus after defecating: DISLODGE ELIMINATION, ORDERLY REMOVAL, WIPE CLEAN. Nonetheless, as「Dragon Emperor with human backsides」meaning ARITHMENTIC DIVISION, or stated another way, the「operation of determining how many times one thing can go into another」these elements make perfect sense. Moreover, his majesty's thousands of herd meat asset backsides were always KEPT SEPARATELY to ostensibly avoid the spread of any infection to his highness. To DISLODGE and then WIPE CLEAN afterwards needs no further explanation, most likely.

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.
