Mean?
Hello,
It doesn't make sense to me when people say for example, "She is mean." I think we need to know who is she mean to (For example "She's mean to Sarah.") But when people say "she is mean" or some words like "mean people", "mean girls", etc, just don't make sense to me. I believe people can be mean to particular persons not everyone.
Saying "mean" what kind of persons and personalities they refer to?
Could you please also clarify what people mean by following sentences/phrases?
She is mean.
Mean girls.
Mean people.
Thanks.
