mezzo is latin (i think?) for "middle," so through extrapolation as a mezzo poster you're no longer new to the forums but you're more casual than the "fanatics."

i think...

it's a silly music reference, at any rate

lol ok thanx

Since Latin has no 'z' and the word for 'middle' is 'medium' I think you're a bit off there, Rat.

Let's invoke the god of Chambers to answer our question:
http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/cha...uery=Mezzo&title=21st&sourceid=Mozilla-search

mezzo adverb, music moderately, quite or rather, as in mezzo-forte rather loud, and mezzo-piano rather soft.
ETYMOLOGY: 19c: Italian, literally 'half'.

I'm going with the 'half' one this time. So it means a 'half poster', or if you'd prefer the musical expression 'rather/quite poster'. Mm.

thanks for the clarification on that part... that makes sense, as most notation musically comes from italian.

yay!

As a marching band Bass player, I had to search back to catch the Mezzo-Piano/Mezzo-Forte reference. The only dynamics in my book were Forte, Fortissimo, and Blow-Out-The-Parking-Lot-Windows.

guys... mezzo poster is the number of posts you have on the site. the ranking changes with the more posts you have.

I'm going to need clarification on this Auto...

Were you in LATIN marching band or ITALIAN marching band.

Does any one know at what levels they change, I know you become a mezzo poster at 100, but like I have seen forum junky and eGO is my life.

 

[HardHat]

You'll need about ~ 800-900 posts for 'Forum Junky' and ~ 2000 posts i think to have 'eGO is my Life' as your title. I could be wrong, just a rough estimate.

 

[Iceman {Ky}]

Hey thanks, thats cool, well im sure I will be eGO is my life in not to long, I love this community

 

[PurpleNurple]

And this whole time I assumed it meant you were making your posts from the mezzanine in the eGO mansion.

ROFL!! What's funny is that I'm on the mezzanine of my university library.

The name below yours is based off of your number of posts, I think 100 gets this "mezzo'' name.

We know that you silly billy! He was asking what it actually meant...

 

[Chef Ramsey]

See it is sort of sounds like mozzarella so it means you are a cheesy poster.

 

[Iceman {Ky}]

According to dictionary.com mezzo simply means middle, medium, half.
