The Mezo Rule
This rule is used in a party setting to ensure that gender demographics at parties that, due to the make up of the group throwing the party, begin each party with a significant tilt in number of attendies that are... male. (ie: sports teams, fraternaties, religious organizations of any kind).
The Breakdown of the Rule:
- All members in good standing of the club throwing the party are welcome, and welcome to bring guests or to come alone.
- For each additional male guest who is not a club member that is brought by a club member, that club member must also bring a female guest.
- If no female guest is at that time accompanying the club member and his non-club member male guest:
A) the non club member male guest will be admitted with open arms into the party.
B) the club member will not be permitted entrance to the party and will be informed of the shame he has brought unto his lineage.
C) the outcasted club member can only gain entry by finding a female (not previously attending the party) to enter the party with the outcasted club member.
Upon completion of requirement "C", all honor is restored to the club member who committed the infraction and the indiscretion is never to be spoken of again.

"Andrew" plays rugby and is a club member in good standing. Andrew brings his buddy "Mike" to a party his rugby club is throwing. Mike is allowed in, but Andrew is in violation of the Mezo Rule and must go find a female before he will be allowed into the party. Andrew finds and introduces himself to a brazilian au pair at the bodega on the corner and asks her to attend the party. She says yes and they both are admitted to the party where there is much rejoicing.

mezzo-soprano
The medium female singing voice in opera and non-classical music (although in the choir, the mezzo-soprano and the contralto are lumped together as altos). The mezzo-soprano has a range of two octaves from A3 (below middle C) to A5 (just two notes short of high C). This is the most common female voice.
Situated between the soprano and contralto, the mezzo-soprano typically plays supporting roles (mothers, maidservants, friends of the heroine) as well as villainous women like the femme fatale (the saying among mezzo-sopranos and contraltos is that they play "witches, britches, and bitches").
Many pop singers are mezzo-sopranos, although the vocal subcategories used in opera are not applied to them. Examples include Madonna, Beyonce, Patti Lupone, Ethel Merman, Tori Amos, Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston (since the mid-1990s), Enya, Janet Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan.

Based on vocal weight/voice type, mezzo-sopranos re divided into three subtypes:
Coloratura mezzo-soprano: Light, flexible, pure, very agile and sings very ornate passages (very rare voice). Examples include Cecilia Bartoli, Marilyn Horne, and Jennifer Larmore, and Vivica Genaux.
Lyric mezzo-soprano: Light, mellow, strong and often plays trouser roles (a woman who plays boys and adolescent males) as well as perfectly feminine characters. Examples include Frederica von Stade, Anne Sophie von Otter, Tatiana Troyanos, and Katherine Jenkins.
Dramatic mezzo-soprano: Powerful, rich, warm and with a stronger (and seductive) lower range than a soprano, she is reserved for the roles of villains (temptresses, femmes fatales, witches) as well as mothers and friends of the soprano. Examples include Grace Bumbry, Dolora Zajick, Denyce Graves, Olga Borodina, and Viorica Cortez.
Mezzo-sopranos can't sing high notes as easily as sopranos (they sound appropriately wild and crazed when they do), but they get their revenge by playing some of the spiciest roles ever.
