Meanings of elements
GAPING MOUTH like a HERON
…or: HERON in GAPING MOUTH
…or: HIGH AMBITIONS, HEAD-THRUSTING MATING DISPLAY with HARD BLOWING
[Japanese variant] perhaps gulping food down without chewing first as does a「heron, gaping open-mouthed」and stuffing meat chunks into one's wide open gaping mouth can only mean DELIGHTFUL, GRATIFY, PLEASURE, JOY. Yet,「head of thrusting downward penis to one side while in courtship display and deficient」as stuffing a chunk of meat into someone else's wide open gaping mouth can only mean DELIGHTFUL, GRATIFY, PLEASURE, JOY…and contextual usage of this glyph has more to do with fellatio, particularly if you examine Chinese vocabulary and the substitute glyphs. Nevertheless, roasted heron flesh in fact may be easily swallowed with almost no chewing necessary,「gulping it down」due to its high fat content when eaten as food that slides down one's gullet (but is not recommended for savoring the full flavor of the flesh)  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Bittern 2012-12-29 ] 

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)

Japanese: joy, enjoyment, delight, pleasure, rapture, gratification, rejoicing, congratulations, felicitations, to be delighted, to be glad, to be pleased, to congratulate, to gratefully accept
Unihan extended: happy, pleased, glad; joy; enjoy
EDRDG: delight; joy

Used within names (nanori)

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.
