New Phrase: かいへい (開閉)
Meaning and Thoughts: I saw this word on a label next to a door, when I saw the kanji, I could understand it, but I had no idea how to read this nounish-verb. If you dont know, it means "opening and closing" of like doors and stuff. So I looked it up, and its here now. Dont forget to put する on this to make it a verb and stuff.

New Phrase: ちんぷんかんぷん
Meaning and Thoughts: I dont know how useful this word is, I literally stumbled on it in a virtual sense. It means simply gobbledygook or some such, used in the sense that we use that old idiom "its all greek to me" ... if you actually do use that an idiom.
