  Thesaurus.com would be your best bet. The way i understood it at first was
someone who is mediocre. That definition is not too far from what i found
online. Here is what the dictionary says.

  One who is somewhat cultured, with conventional tastes and interests; one
who is neither highbrow nor lowbrow.

the
    beaning of the brow thing - at first, I actually thought it was a town -
    could someone please tell me what the low medium and high brow things
    actually stand for - is this like a reporter's term like ("that's a
30!")?

    I didn't mean it as an insult at all, just part of a realization that JF
    has a far larger potential fanbase than he does.
