Glyph elements [ Toggle Font ]
All elements taken individually as「fluid flows from screwing orifice with meat」「buying and selling, bill for services with meat」「trading meat」describes the floor of a cave o' wonders, suggesting a POOLING OF FLUIDS (admittedly an inductive leap in logic here, nonetheless).「Fluid flows with hairy meat」confirms a pooling of liquids forming under a well-used service provider, or a very ill patient, or someone with a large beard…lakes formed geologically do not often contain much actual hair, but may be surrounded by marsh reeds and grasses that resemble hairs, in a way.
Left and center elements together mean「flow from old, inferior quality」as turbid, thickened and coagulated, not flowing cleanly like a river any longer, clotted fluids pent up in the enlarged prostate gland of an old man. Center and right elements together mean「old meat, blunder, reckless, foolish」such as catching the clap, or, eating「old meat」or, not keeping your prostate gland flowing fresh on a regular basis since that would have been very easy to do, and now you have an enlarged, cancerous prostate gland with useless「old meat.」
May refer to the「flow of barbarians」who behave in blundering, reckless, and foolish ways, eating old dried, salted meat such as beef jerky, and may refer to the fact that the conquering northern barbarians arrived in China from regions with large LAKES (that China does not have) such as Ysyk-Kol, Balgash, Alakol, and the largest and oldest LAKE in the world, Baikal, situated near the border between Mongolia and Siberia. Perhaps referring to not being able to travel any great distance on a small lake (as if entering the lake was a blunder) rather than travelling by river. Or that it was a foolish blunder to drink water from a small lake instead of a clean flowing river or stream (brain-eating amoebae may live in those waters), and so on.

うみ ・ み
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.
