Trying to remember the name of the "fff" used in music. I remember forte and fortissimo. A quick Google search yields all sorts of "fff" sites, including:

I refuse to click the link *L*

Colloquially it's "forte fortissimo," and it means "super extra loud." :D

I've also heard it as Fortississimo. Or is that ffff?

From the Wiki link posted below:
"No standard names for fff and ppp exist, but musicians have invented a variety of neologisms for these designations, including fortississimo/pianississimo, fortissimento/pianissimento, forte fortissimo/piano pianissimo, and more simply triple forte/triple piano or molto fortissimo/molto pianissimo. ppp has also been designated "pianissimo possibile"."

"Pianissimo possible" is what we used to call it in high school.

...you know... molto just reminded me of something else (goes and looks up)

I think I'm confusing it with mezzo piano, thinking it was something mezzo forte or something.

My piano teacher may have taught it to me as molto forte, as that does for some reason ring a bell.
