Meanings of elements

CAVERN of PAYMENT for MEAT
…or: CAVERN of STICKY MEAT
…or: CAVERN PEOPLE WITH SQUEEZING GRIP on MEAT
…or: GOVERNMENT MEAT
…or: PALMING ERECTION and ROD HEAD with FEEL OF FLUIDS PUMPING, SQUEEZING GRIP on MEAT

「Meat with person having squeezing grip inside cavern」「cave of sticky meat one must pay to access」TAINTED, ROTTEN, WORTHLESS, DECAYED, SPOILED, DECOMPOSING SLOWLY, PUTRID, FESTERING.
Upper elements mean「storehouse」and meat that is always stored there (i.e., unable to walk away due to no-longer-integrated feet, as one example) will certainly rot. Meat decay (in part) may have been intended to age the meat and tenderize it, called「curing」likely because the no-longer-integrated feet bones began to「cure」as each service provider aged. Curing meat is still common today, but generally not within large U.S. metropolitan neighborhoods, although sometimes the police do locate curing meat in homes.
Upper elements also mean「…the government…」So that the「meatheads in government」may perhaps have also been counted as TAINTED, ROTTEN, WORTHLESS, DECAYED, SPOILED, DECOMPOSING SLOWLY, PUTRID, FESTERING, and so on. Clearly, the service providers with no-longer-integrated feet meat working for the shaman within the caverns of wonder, and the meat of clients who frequented there, were soon DECOMPOSING SLOWLY, PUTRID, FESTERING, and so on as well. In China, the government tried to control「caves of sticky meat」caused by sexually transmitted disease by implementing various measures, such as building and patrolling small and great walls, an endeavor common in China as a simplistic solution to a complicated problem. Failing to extract coagulated jism from within one's meat on a regular basis will cause it to FESTER, become PUTRID, and has been suggested as a cause of prostate cancer.

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.
