Meanings of elements

WOODY and HOME COUNTRY
…or: WOOD TALLY with VILLAGE
…or: WOOD TALLY with VAGINA

「Wood, tally, and village」as a sentinel's alert signal to call in reinforcements, perhaps a sharp sound caused by repeatedly slapping two pieces of wood together, whacking tallies. Elements are also「woody prick, tallywacker and vagina」that can also create some sharp, repeated slapping sounds, albeit not as loud as the sentinel's signal but perhaps intended here as an analogy. Watchmen often became really bored by watching the grass grow, and the wind blow, and many began shaking their woody as one might a rattle, just to pass the time. These「wood rattles」(for lack of a better term) are still used today during Japanese festivals, at shrines and temples, and during sumō tournaments as some examples.「Woody, tally with vagina」suggests a method used long ago of letting all clients in a cave o' wonders know that their session time has expired, or used as some other signal.

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.
