Meanings of elements

YOU AND I with an ORIFICE
…or: SUN and BLAME, AGGRAVATE, MAKE MORE SEVERE
…or: FLASHING, TONGUING SOMETHING IN A MOUTH, HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING and BLAME, AGGRAVATE, MAKE MORE SEVERE
…or: PUNISHING both TONGUING MOUTH and ORIFICE
…or: HEAD IN CROTCH, SPREAD FEET with PERSON and with TONGUING MOUTH and ORIFICE

AGGRAVATE refers to making a condition or situation more severe, such as by deliberately adding shadow to a SUNDIAL in order to estimate the time of day, although that can hardly be said to cause the Sun any aggravation. Undoubtedly, the shaman CEOs worked their service providers fairly hard (pun there, sorry) and demanded completion of contracts be concluded with clients in the shortest duration possible, not unlike bosses or other slave-drivers of today:「you and I with an orifice.」Revenue maximization being the only goal, increased asset turnover ratio per slave as a expression taken literally, and perhaps the source of that English terminology, requiring fellatrix service providers to turn over and offer the other set of cheeks (or simply turn the other cheek if already prone), not wanting to miss any opportunity for a repeat short-term rental and so on, all related to TIME-KEEPING and making the conditions or situation more severe. Clearly, as any marketing executive knows well, one's best opportunities for the next sale are with those already in your meat market. Needless to point out perhaps is the fact that a「person with rod in one juxtaposed orifice within spread legs, head in crotch, that exact spot」and so on will likely CAST A SHADOW upon the service provider situated below.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
