Meanings of elements

TWO ADULT MALE BUDDIES with GOAL, EYE on EMISSIONS
…or: ADULT MALE BUDDIES and FLESHPOT

Obtain「prior approval of two other adult males before shelling out money for a fleshpot」is one possibility.
　Top two elements formerly were「precede, before」(贊) but Japanese version uses「adult males.」Fancifully explained as indicating that before adding anything to the cauldron as supper meat the item should be approved by two adult males….
　Frankly, given the long history of male homosexuality in bonobos, homo sapiens, and other primates over the past few hundred thousand years at a minimum,「two adult males with goal of emissions」who APPROVE of one another as partners is the most likely explanation, ASSENTING, ENDORSEMENT, PRAISE, AGREEMENT, SUPPORTING…but before the era of human immunodeficiency viruses. Also referred to the TITLE or CAPTION given to a work of art after it has been appraised and approved, lauded by others, and you can probably think of a long list of such titles without further explanations (fudge-packer, poofter, brownie, fagot (faggot) and so on). DebunKanji does not state a moral opinion regarding the use of these terms to describe homosexuality of either sex, but is simply explaining how and why the use of the terms originated, and the glyphs behind that usage.
　「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter.」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: Japanese variant of 贊|赞
Japanese: praise, tribute, inscription, to approve, to agree, to assent, to endorse, to support, to back, to inscribe, to praise, to laud
Unihan extended: help, support, assist, aid
EDRDG: approve; praise; title or inscription on picture; assist; agree with

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.
