Meanings of elements

BONE BEING REMOVED FROM MEAT, DENUDED, DEPRAVED, VICIOUS and REPEATED HEAD BOBBING CONTINUOUSLY with WILD DOG PENIS USED MANY TIMES REPEATEDLY
…or: ROD with EVENING ACTIVITIES BECOMING SMALLER, NARROWING

「Depraved viciousness」with「repeatedly bobbing head of dog penis, stake in soil many times」and「repeatedly becoming narrower」suggest a gang rape with the arrayed tissues swelling and narrowing, causing even more pain and bleeding. All the given meanings fit this description of the elements, including that more bleeding provided more lubrication, hence the gang lingering, staying longer, repeating the action, and so forth.
　「Narrow layer of arrayed meat」is what REMAINS on the bone after slicing off the big chunks. Left element of「denuded bones, meat hanging from bones」and right element of「narrow, confined」or「battling dogs」or「two lances」(殘). The meaning of REMAINDER may derive from what meat chunks are left after a slaughter, or that「two dogs are battling over meat hanging from bones.」LINGER refers to the victorious dogs staying around to chew or chop up more enemy bodies…there could be various motivations for this behavior, perhaps decapitating rivals, rifling pockets for loose change, preparing a quick snack, or snatching a nice pair of boots from one of the many corpses.
　「Array of feet meat with two wild dog penises」needs no explanation as LINGERING, REMAINING, the leftovers after one client/soldier is finished and the next soldier gets going: to bequeath, remnant, residue, remnants, dregs being passed along to the next in line.

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: to destroy; to spoil; to ruin; to injure; cruel; oppressive; savage; brutal; incomplete; disabled; to remain; to survive; remnant; surplus
Japanese: remaining, left-over, excess, to leave, to bequeath, to save, to reserve, remnant, residue, to remain, to be left, not yet, remnants, dregs
Unihan extended: injure, spoil; oppress; broken
EDRDG: remainder; leftover; balance

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.
