Meanings of elements

MILLET and HEAD SLIDING and SCYTHE
…or: GRAIN, SEEDS AT STACK TIP with GOOEY and REAMING A HOLE, WEAPON OR TOOL WITH A POINTED END
…or: GONORRHEA with SLIDING HEAD IN DANGER and PERSON with STICKY STREAM

Refers to a type of BLACK MILLET, a「grain」that is highly glutinous (perhaps was mixed with water and used as hair gel). Upper-right element of「head reaming」or,「wrapped head」as a blade that wraps to the inside, as does a scythe used to cut standing grain…nevertheless, the same concepts of a「wrapped head」and「head being reamed」may also be indicative of bougie treatments for disease. Lower element of「liquid between person's legs」means「gooey, sticky」and as such has little to do with grain, other than when used as a poultice. Substitute glyph (俚) of a「person with filled orifice of night soil」also refers to a variety of black, sticky, glutinous seeds, dark-colored goo. Both glyphs might also depict the discharge resulting from bougie reaming. These elements may well be「repeated shellacking of the woody of a person with sticky stream spurting in many directions between legs and that head is being reamed」rather than referring to millet seed grains. In any case, it does not seem to be a pretty sight.

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.
