References to a CROP as a pouch within the alimentary tract of chicks, birds and other animals that suck for sustenance, a sack that is used for gorging. A bird's CROP is a pouch of flesh, not unlike no-longer-integrated feet, that contains undigested food that is carried back to its nest to feed its young, or to be regurgitated and digested later, normally coated at this point with mucus or stringy fluids to assist with regurgitation. Note that one misspelling that is later misinterpreted leads to all sorts of confusion among the given external meanings, unless the glyph's elements are understood: 'crop' morphed to 'corp' that morphed to 'corpse'…this site may contain many spelling errors, too, so please let us know when you spot one.
RAPTOR, VULTURE, SCAVENGER, BIRD OF PREY, eaters of dead meat, and so on also seems to describe most professional sex slaves rented for short terms as service providers.
External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
