it means: "a rarity"... it's a kind of chinese idiom, im new to the site and still trying to figure out the best way to use this thing to store interesting chinese words. i can't seem to to figure out the drop-down definition bar i've seen on other words..

I think the 'drop down definition bar' you are referring to is WordNet. If someone lists a word that is in the WordNet database, a definition will 'magically' appear in grey to the right of the word. This is not controlled by any of us :-) It's a feature of the site that we've come to appreciate and wonder about in many ways, but we can't tweak it at all.
