You can either delete them from the vocab list, or you can make a new label in the drop down menu under "more actions" and select the words you want to include in this set of flashcards.
I will talk with the tech team to see if they can reinstitute an exclude feature in the actual flashcard section.

In the Qin Dynasty, one jin (一斤) equalled 16两 (liǎng). In 1959 that was adjusted and now one jin (一斤) equals 500g (10两). (one 两 = 50g)

劳驾 (láojià) is used quite often by people from Beijing. It is similar to 'please', and is most often used when you are asking for someone's help, i.e.:
劳驾您帮我写一下。Láojià nín bāng wǒ xiě yīxià.
劳驾您让一下。Láojià nín ràng yīxià.
请问 (Qǐngwèn) is more often used as a preface to a question, as in:
请问洗手间在哪里？Qǐngwèn xǐshǒujiān zài nǎli？
