Meaning of Mean

What makes a person mean?

Well, I would not have given this word much thought had it not been for a few pretty girls checking out the word at work today. Besides, I too may have a mean streak that until now may have been vying for my attention in the midst of goodness.
However, their enthusiasm and my curiosity with some public display of meanness do make the day mean and meaningful.

Although not meant to be comprehensive, here are three mean types:

1. People who are just predisposed to being mean. 
2. People who choose to be mean. 
3. People who do not know how to be mean. 

How would you react if a graceful girl tells you that she is indeed mean?
Funnily enough, you would want to like her more.
How would you react if a mean girl tells you that she is indeed graceful?
Whatever that would mean ... it would be meaningless.

Most bosses are mean.
Some teachers are mean.
Few neighbours are mean.
The thing about being mean is that it is right there...
in the middle of being good and being wicked.

Data are presented as mean values,
And by no means would meanness have a standard deviation.
We all know the standard error of the mean.
But by all means, I sincerely hope your means to be mean are lean.
