Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
FLASHING with EMISSIONS
…or: WEALTH EASY CHANGES
…or: GOAL of EMISSIONS, FLESHPOT and EASILY CHANGES, AMIABLE, NO PROBLEM, WITHOUT TROUBLE, FRIENDLY, AMICABLE
「Easy money. Easy come, easy go」as「wealth」that「changes easily」as does a chameleon, to GRANT FUNDS. Glyph may be more from the perspective of the grantor (who may not care so much about the funds) rather than the grantee (who may desperately need the funding to stay alive). Formerly some high and mighty authority BESTOWING some wealth upon another party held in a lower social standing. Perhaps someone who has not any of such experience might also suggest that a GRANT is「easy money」because it is not earned income when received (normally, the work is performed subsequent to the receipt of grant funds), but grant recipients will seldom agree that the funding was「easy.」
And perhaps there is no need to mention that「fleshpot」as a sex slave with「tonguing mouth that easily causes gushing chunks」one who sucks as does a lizard licking up flies, would have made a handsome GIFT or to HONOR WITH AN AWARD back in the good ol' days of ancient China. In fact, it would likely still be appreciated today by most men and women alike if it were not illegal to own slaves.「Fleshpot easily changes」ownership: no problem, BESTOW A GIFT, to GRANT a BOON. A boon is a benefit bestowed, especially in response to a request, such as「hey, can I do her, too?」

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
