A「hatchet head」is often made of IRON.
「Metal slips」in reference to iron and steel, relatively slippery metals, so much so that they are selected for reducing friction as engine sleeves, piston rings, and most other moving engine parts…obviously, these examples are modern age technology, but IRON was known to be slippery long ago. Its carbon-silicon content forms flat, slippery graphitic flakes in the structure of the grain and with only a slight amount of water or oil, becomes slippery.
Variant of Chinese glyph 紩:「ejaculations with head of husband, that male thing.」…today's element meaning「metal」is derived from「person taking stance with downward thrusting motions of penis」and right element is used as a modern replacement for an older glyph meaning「merciless」having elements of「military dog erection in orifice of the king」in reference to a conquering invader's abuse of a local dignitary that publicly「slips」his shaft into the defeated local lord's back orifice (鐵) and/or in his concubines (鐡), in an attempt to display total dominance and cause irreparable humiliation (armies invading in China were referred to as「dogs」). The old elements depict SOMETHING VERY HARD AND SLIPPERY used for「shafting」but today generally suggest a metal shaft or a reciprocating motion, for rather obvious reasons. Perhaps the source of the English colloquialism, TO RAILROAD someone and compel by coercion, threats, or crude means: an iron horse.

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.
