Suggests that five people are used when just one would suffice, with delay after delay. Places where common folk stand in long lines while arrogant bureaucrats are being evasive or impose restrictions and impediments. Describes a queue before a gateway inspection station for entry into the prostitution quarter. Mention of「going and performing with rod and foot orifice」suggests these inspection stations manned by government officials in dynastic China, and the government officials personally inspecting the goods and services offered within the gateway by actual use themselves. As「loitering with arrogant concubines and their five orifices with rod of blasting male」the elements suggest the OFFICIAL RESIDENCE of a lord, wealthy man, and his concubines of course.

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.
