Meanings of elements

DIRECT, STRAIGHT and FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, INTENT, -MINDED, -HEARTED
…or: IMMEDIATE, UPRIGHT, SQUARE, PROPER, HONEST, TO CORRECT, CONVERT, HANGED BY THE NECK, FEAR OF EXECUTION, NECK STRETCHED
…or: PALM UNDER CONTROL and CEREBRAL FRONTAL LOBE, MYSELF and SPEWING PENIS, INTENT
…or: DIRECTLY STRAIGHT PENIS ROD RIGHT-ANGLED from torso

A「directly straight penis rod, right-angled」to the torso in all directions may be an indicator that no prior or existing sexually transmitted infections with accompanying scarring of the urethra have occurred, hence perhaps ETHICAL, MORAL VIRTUE, HEEDING ADVICE.「Palming control of self directly with spewing penis」or「lateral rod motion with myself directly and with soul」suggests the safest form of sex if one wishes to remain infection-free.
「Direct」element formerly depicted a severed head or a whole person hung from a rope twisting over a fleshpot, a rather direct method of getting a message across.「Direct to the spirit, mind, heart」is to SUBMIT, HEED.「Executed by bent penis spewing drips and drops」as a very long lesson in MORALITY, ETHICS and VIRTUE, albeit one too late to help the sufferer but useful for anyone nearby watching his torment over the months and years. Some suggest elements may be a variation of「screwing with government pricks」(十, 県, 乚) with the predictable consequences.

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.
