The Meanest

She says, “You are the meanest man.”
l do not know which mean she means.

I’m meanest like the lowliest?
OR, meanest like the average-most?

I’m meanest like deliberate?
OR, meanest like the dullest bore?

I’m meanest like contemptible?
OR, meanest like contemptuous?

I ask her and she screams at me.
“Not OR. You’re AND. You’re ALL of them.”
