Meanings of elements

FEARFULLY NERVOUS of SLIDING HEAD and SCREWING with NETTING ARRAYED on ROD

「Standing idle with intelligent planning when confronting a poultice netting containing a spewing penis」as ECONOMICAL, MORALLY ETHICAL, and ADVANTAGEOUS all rolled into one, not getting infected in the first place. As the alternative,「dawdling purposeless motions」with「attention to detail, screwing in one's own netting to spew from penis, intelligent planning」suggests the meticulous performance of a selfie within one's drawers, perhaps while waiting to see what happens to others, or 'what comes naturally' from a situation, recalling that sage bit of advice of old English lore: what goes around, comes around.
　「Dawdling」with「attention to detail」is often a BENEFICIAL, ADVANTAGEOUS strategy: waiting to see what happens to others before jumping in yourself, for example. The motivation to be DECENT, VIRTUOUS, and MORALLY GOOD, ETHICAL seems to be「loitering with seemingly purposeless motions」to「rotate netting for spewing penis」and keep any unwanted discharges out of sight from others, keeping one's groin clean and freshly scented if at all possible, being BENEVOLENT and KIND, intending or showing goodwill to others by often changing one's poultice and by doing so, being friendly since everyone appreciates a clean codpiece; Japanese adds ECONOMICAL perhaps since the elements suggest continual use of only one netting by simply rotating it a bit once in a while with a relatively clean portion in the front position, until fully saturated all around or the odor becomes unbearable.

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.
