Using「both hands, not closed and gushing bubbles with chunks」as to RAISE UP something within one's hands, and then be in HIGH SPIRITS. Food that is DEEP FRIED also「opens up with gushing bubbles and small bits of fried batter」and expands, causing it to FLOAT in oil (and it rises naturally) as it cooks, and is then very hot after removal from the boiling oil, causing「open hands」and perhaps some waving of burned fingers.
「Talented hands while gushing chunks」refers to using rendered lamb fat, lard, or other lubrication in the performance of a hand job, as does「assume responsibility for gushing chunks」: fried foods are heated meat coated with oil,「high and proud spirits, to earn praise, to earn one's fee, indicates completion, to show someone else how to do something.」…and so on.

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.
