Meanings of elements

BODY PART that is STICKY, GOOEY

「Body part」that is「sticky, gooey」is the LAP of course, where various sexual and excretory organs are located, and the place where a 'dog laps, licks with wide open tonguing motions'…remember that 'dog' applies to the male of the species, and that females are 'bitches.'
Applies to the KNEE, as both knees would be drawn together while forming a person's LAP (and referring to the「knees」was less obvious?). Knees are not inherently gooey, at least not externally, but do contain a fair amount of collagen and cartilaginous gristle, being the points of the human body that absorb the most stress and shock while running or jumping. If you stumble, often it is your knees that become skinned, and then become gooey, sticky as the scabs dry…service providers working in lordosis on a hard or stone floor without mats could surely have had skinned knees often, depending upon the amount of force asserted from behind, which is why the shamans invented kneepads: see 袚「cloths for dog-style」and 韍「soft skin dog-style」and 韐「soft skin and person aligned with the orifice」and 韠「soft skin with anal intercourse.」

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.
