When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

nickname
moniker
Those who could prove they were born in Rio (and hence bear the moniker carioca) would be admitted for half price provided they present a kilo of donated food.

The Festival’s main attraction is the U.S. premiere of The Asphalt Kiss belong to a group of his plays known as “Carioca tragedies” (“carioca” being a moniker for the people of Rio), a genre that updated the outmoded comedy of manners by darkening the tone and tackling taboo subjects such as homosexuality and suicide.

He has the famous name, the financially-stable background that often comes with such a famous moniker, and he’s a darling within the media-soaked world of NASCAR Nation.

Is it really the case that the renowned moniker applies only to those actually born in Cidade Maravilhosa?
| agree |
Filipa Plant dos Santos
: I would use this. Nickname is inappropriate, IMHO, as I feel it applies to individual people rather than groups of people as in this case.

Thanks. OED defines 'carioca' simply as 'A native of Rio de Janeiro.'
