「Universal array of emissions」describes the SHAMAN PROPRIETRESS, but also EXTREME FEAR, such as when a prowling TIGRESS is stalking a pit hole hamlet between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. causes in a human being a reflexive physiological response that instinctually is to freeze and remain paralyzed initially (「deer in headlights」) as one's anal sphincter constricts involuntarily with ever-increasing tension. This initial response is an evolutionary adaptation intended to prevent the spasmodic release of diarrhea, described in old English as「shatting one's breeches」which is the second phase of the instinctive human physiological reflex response, also referred to colloquially as「shitepoking the cloaca, heron」:
「This process is so intense that soldiers very often suffer stress diarrhea due to redirecting of energies from nonessential parasympathetic processes, and it is not at all uncommon to lose control of urination and defecation as the body literally 'blows its ballast' and redirects all available energy in an attempt to provide the resources required to ensure survival. This is reflected in World War II surveys in which a quarter of combat veterans admitted that they urinated in their pants in combat, and a quarter admitted that they defecated in their pants in combat.」

Perhaps elements are also「preference for extracting and emitting」from the plugged orifice area, or anus, which describes how and where tigers begin to rip open and eat a carcass after a kill, being the softest and easiest entry point.

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.
