Meanings of elements
STEPS, FOOT MOTION and THROBBING, PULSATING and TWO CONGEALING NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FEET, COUNTER FOR CHICKS AND BUNNIES, NEW CONCUBINE IN TRAINING
「Motions with feet and throbbing, pulsating of two no-longer-integrated feet」: SLIPSHOD in English initially referred to damaging a hoof while working on the foot of an animal due to carelessness or being sloppy and negligent, for example, to slip while shoeing a horse…'shod' is the past tense and a past participle of 'to shoe.' See 'horse' () as to what shoeing a horse and slipping while doing so may be about. No mistaking that SLIPSHOD literally means to「slip into a foot」and the archaic English meaning is exactly that, to slide one's foot into shoes that have had the heels broken down and smashed. Later acquiring the meaning of sloppy and then to err, make a mistake, CARELESS (to care less) with NEGLIGENCE, failing to act with due diligence most likely by a do-it-yourselfer parent attempting to skimp on paying professional fees to the shaman foot-crusher having vast experience:「…with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
