[Elements vary by font]「Prick emissions」appears to be a merging of「repeated」with「pricking wood, woody」and the ancient character resembles a wooden fork used for tilling soil. Some dictionaries state this is a wooden PLOW (PLOUGH) used to cut up compacted soil, a combination of elements meaning 'serrated' (such as, a cut tally) merged with 'wood'…a wooden plough, perhaps a horizontal tapered log pulled by a horse and directed into the soil by various means.
Whatever the true original elements were, it does appear as some tool to plunge into (something) by plowing, a「prick with emissions」(a plow point pricking into dirt and emitting loose soil?) and likely depicts the ACTION OF PLOWING IN SOIL of one variety, or another.
Simply as「prick emissions」depicts a HANDLE or a GRASP, where to grab ahold, something with a knobbed end: TO COME. Similar to English「get a grip」: 𡗗 with 丨as「offering a taut rod.」
「Repeatedly bobbing one's head in sheep」「repeatedly bobbing one's head in an immature individual」easily overpowered and taken advantage of, or any of the other elemental combinations seem to reflect more than simply a 'farmer loosening soil and preparing to plant his seeds.' Needless to point out perhaps is that any prick penetration into soil would require subsequent cleansing prior to re-entry elsewhere, hence the「second bobbing of rod head with emissions」and not the initial point of entry…can't say how that applies to sheep, though.

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.
