Meanings of elements

ROD ERECT or HAND of LEADER, NOBILITY, ELDEST BROTHER, UNCLE with RECIPROCATING LATERAL ROD MOTION in TENSE GASPING A LONG TIME TAUT AND TIGHT WITH SPRING-LIKE ACTION and MANY EMISSIONS
…or: PERSON within GOOSING WILDLY, FERAL GOOSE, GOOSE GONE WILD, WILD GOOSE
…or: HAND, ERECTION ARRAYED of PERSON with BIRD, CHICK

「Hand」and「person with bird」to mean GOOSE. Somewhat abstruse, refers to the kind of「bird used by people while held in hand」variously at work (but only the boss), or at parties and small get-togethers, primarily by GOOSING the animal's cloaca, that is, copulating with the animal…see the related glyphs. Perhaps the reason folks went「wild while goose chasing」and why the birds acquired traits of instinctively fleeing while screeching and defecating as a human approaches (natural selection at work, again). By the way, this glyph depicts one of the first spectator-oriented party games since it causes hysterical laughter among guests as the goose attempts to escape the grasp of the copulating human, and is still a favorite theme of Northern European erotic films.

Chinese: wild goose
Japanese EDRDG: wild goose

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.
