微妙(びみょう)

meh! ★★★☆☆
(teeny) + (odd) = 微妙 (meh!)

a nice way of saying, 'meh.'

"How did you like the play?"

"Bimyou." It's not always negative . . . it can also mean subtle and delicate -- which might explain the popularity of the more negative meaning - deniability!

奇妙(きみょう)

weird ★★☆☆☆
(strange) + (odd) = 奇妙 (weird)

weird - but more broad than the related term 妙. 奇妙 means unusual and absurd - a street-person wearing a duck as a hat is 奇妙.
