Not too likely, but some suggest a WARNING NOT to hang any such loosened binding cloths「between the walls」prior to a thorough washing due to the horrendous odor, as this element has been replaced by「stinky, loose and dripping, STENCH CLOUD (厶)」in modern glyphs SPREADING INFECTIOUS DISEASE…keep them outdoors—in either case, a WARNING NOT TO DO without washing first.
Of course, the capitalist way is to MAKE THE MOST PROFIT by cutting costs and corners, so not washing between clients enabled the workers to remain in service with the next client, reduced the cost of cleaning supplies and laundering, and increased the revenue stream by substantially reducing the mean time between clients (years ago, MTBF formerly was the acronym for the shaman's calculations of 'mean time between fuckers' or so it is rumored, with 'failures' replacing the final word after learning of the DANGERS RESULTING FROM NOT WASHING THOROUGHLY).
Not as likely, but perhaps two warnings: DO NOT use an archery bow while pointed vertically (the arrows tend also to return vertically in those cases, striking the shooter or a comrade), and DO NOT use quick movements to one side while an arrow is nocked (experience shows that the arrow tends not to follow the bow due to inertia, and subsequently letting loose may injure the shooter or a comrade). Could be the source of an English expression, although it makes little sense since it originated during the days of bows and arrows,「to shoot oneself in the foot」that later requires a「bound foot」until it heals…most likely, the expression formerly intended was「to shoot oneself (with an arrow 矢, the sick penis of another) in the foot」of a Chinese service provider that contained infectious bacteria, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, as another quaint coded expression brought back to England by the opium drug peddlers which commoners in London could not comprehend: the speaker contracted a case of the clap. This expression is equivalent to「stepping on my own penis」with variants, a scenario that also is not anatomically possible except in the most extreme cases, hence most likely relates to the same conditions as described above when using a Chinese service provider's contaminated no-longer-integrated foot, but let's hope not related to schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) the anus of a corpse, although necrophilia simply means the 'love of death flesh,' common to both no-longer-integrated feet and cadavers, seemingly.
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: not
Unihan extended: not, negative
EDRDG: dollar
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.
